EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the Library of the University of Leiden. The image showcases rows upon rows of books, each one meticulously chained to prevent theft or removal from their designated spot. This fascinating practice was common during this era when books were considered precious treasures. The library's ambiance is steeped in history and knowledge, with volumes upon volumes waiting to be explored by eager scholars and students alike. The sight of these chained books evokes a sense of reverence for learning and intellectual pursuit that characterized this period. Located in Holland's vibrant city of Leiden, this renowned university played a pivotal role in shaping academia during the seventeenth century. With its rich collection of texts spanning various disciplines, it served as an invaluable resource for researchers seeking enlightenment. Ken Welsh's masterful illustration beautifully captures the essence of this historical setting. Through his lens, we are transported back centuries ago to witness firsthand how knowledge was safeguarded within these hallowed halls. This print serves as a reminder not only of our collective past but also highlights the enduring importance placed on education and preserving valuable literary works throughout generations. It stands as a testament to the power that libraries hold in nurturing minds and fostering intellectual growth even today.
