EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Fausts First Proof from Moveable Type" showcases the early manufacturing industry in the United States during the 19th century. Created by an American School artist, this illustration was originally featured in a book called "The Great Industries of the United States" published in 1873. The image depicts a momentous scene where Faust, a fictional character known for his pact with the devil, is seen examining his first printed proof using moveable type. The intricate details of this engraving beautifully capture both the historic significance and industrial prowess of that era. Faust's expression reflects wonderment as he witnesses his words come to life through this revolutionary printing technique. This portrayal emphasizes not only Faust's intellectual curiosity but also highlights him as a monstrous character who delves into forbidden knowledge. As we delve into history through art, this print serves as a reminder of America's rich industrial heritage and its contribution to technological advancements worldwide. It symbolizes how literature and innovation intertwine to shape society. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value while immersing ourselves in the historical context it represents.
