EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in the life of a Japanese writer during the 19th century. In this image, we see the writer diligently working at his table, engrossed in editing a text that is spread out on a long roll before him. The intricate details of his task are revealed as he carefully rolls or unrolls the scroll according to the progress of his work. The engraving was created by an unknown artist and featured in "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" published under the direction of Edouard Charton in 1867. It was part of Aime Humbert's account of his voyage to Japan between 1863-1864 as minister of the Swiss Confederation. The photograph offers us a glimpse into both the artistic process and cultural practices prevalent during that time period. The writer's dedication to his craft is evident as he meticulously examines each word on the scroll, ensuring its perfection. This print from Leonard de Selva's private collection allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also admire how artistry transcends time and space. As we observe this Japanese writer immersed in his work, we are reminded of our own commitment to excellence and passion for creation.
