EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the past, showcasing a man engrossed in his writing during the 16th century. The image was originally created as an illustration for a calendar in 1892 by an unknown artist. The man's intense focus is evident as he delicately holds his quill pen, poised to leave its mark on parchment. His face is illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight, casting shadows that add depth and mystery to the scene. It is clear that this moment captured in time represents a significant period of history when writing was revered as both an art form and means of communication. The photograph itself exudes a sense of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to an era where handwritten letters were cherished and ink-stained fingers were badges of honor. The attention to detail in this composition showcases the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate illustrations for calendars during that time. Preserved within the archives of Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this print offers us a rare glimpse into both artistic techniques from centuries ago and historical practices surrounding writing and communication. Thanks to Leonard de Selva's photography skills, we are able to appreciate this timeless piece without any restrictions due to copyright limitations.
