EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and gold print showcases the exquisite leather binding of "Daphne" by Alfred de Vigny, a renowned French poet and playwright. Created in 1924 by the talented artist Francois-Louis Schmied, this modernist piece is a true testament to the art deco movement of the 1920s. The front cover of this bound masterpiece features a bold title in a striking font, capturing the essence of modernity that defined this era. The sleek design and meticulous craftsmanship make it an iconic representation of 20th-century literature. The golden accents on the cover add an air of elegance and sophistication to this timeless artwork. The typeface chosen for the text complements the overall aesthetic, perfectly blending contemporary style with classic elements. Measuring at 30x24 cm, this print allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Schmied's creation. Its presence evokes nostalgia for a time when bookbinding was considered an art form in itself. Displayed against a dark backdrop, "Daphne" stands out as an emblematic symbol of literary excellence from the early twentieth century. This photograph captures not only its physical beauty but also its historical significance as part of private collections around Switzerland. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this remarkable piece through their fine art finder collection, allowing enthusiasts to admire and celebrate its artistic value for generations to come.
