EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a printing office in Holland around the year 1600. The scene is bustling with activity as we witness the different stages of printing being carried out under the watchful eye of a master printer. On the left side of the image, we see characters meticulously arranging individual letters to form words and sentences. This intricate process showcases the craftsmanship required for early typesetting. The characters themselves seem almost animated, bringing life to their work. The atmosphere in this atelier is one of focused labor, with each person dedicated to their specific task. From preparing ink and paper to operating various printing presses, every step is carefully executed by skilled craftsmen. The engraving from "Nova Reperta" by Giovanni Stradano provides us with a glimpse into daily life during this period. It highlights not only the technical aspects of printing but also emphasizes human interaction within an artistic environment. As we observe this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that even centuries ago, people were driven by creativity and innovation in their chosen professions. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology while honoring the dedication and expertise displayed by these Dutch printers so long ago.
