EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece from the 1925 edition of Everyman, published by Chapman & Hall, is a mesmerizing example of colour lithography. Created by the talented artist John Austen (1886-1948), this print showcases an allegorical drama that harks back to the late Middle Ages. Everyman, a morality play, takes center stage in this artwork as it explores timeless themes and moral dilemmas. The intricate details and art deco style employed by Austen give the illustration a distinct flair reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley's manner. The characters depicted in this piece are adorned with elaborate costumes that transport us to another era. Their attire reflects the fashion trends of elderlijk times around 1500, adding historical authenticity to the scene. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be captivated by its rich symbolism and artistic finesse. It serves as a visual reminder of our shared human experiences and challenges us to reflect on our own moral choices. This particular print is part of a private collection and holds immense historical value. Its presence reminds us of how art has evolved over time while still preserving elements from centuries past. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this exquisite artwork for all to appreciate and enjoy. Through their lens, we have access to remarkable pieces like these that transcend time and continue to inspire generations with their beauty and meaning.
