EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving titled "Rome, outside the Vatican, 'No Admittance except on Business'" by Durand, Godefroy. The artwork, created in 1872 and part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Rome during the 19th century. The image depicts an imposing entrance gate guarded by Swiss Guards with their distinctive uniforms. A sign prominently displayed reads "No Admittance except on Business" emphasizing the strict security measures in place at this location. This scene captures both the grandeur and exclusivity associated with accessing one of the world's most revered landmarks – the Vatican. Durand's artistic prowess is evident in his attention to detail and ability to convey a sense of time and place through his engravings. The composition exudes an air of mystery as viewers are left wondering about what lies beyond those closed gates. Furthermore, this artwork serves as a testament to international trade and commerce during that era. It symbolizes how businesses from different countries interacted within Rome's vibrant marketplace. With references to French culture and Italian flags adorning nearby buildings, it highlights Europe's rich cultural tapestry. Overall, this enchanting print transports us back in time while reminding us of Rome's historical significance as well as its role as a hub for global trade and diplomacy.
