EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Swiss courier" takes us back in time to the 15th century, showcasing a remarkable French School engraving. The image is based on a statue found in Bale, Switzerland and beautifully captures the essence of a profession that played a crucial role during the Middle Ages. The Swiss courier depicted here stands tall and proud, embodying the dedication and resilience required for his job. Clad in traditional attire, he exudes an air of authority as he carries out his duties with utmost professionalism. This artwork serves as a testament to the importance of couriers in delivering messages and goods across Europe during this era. The tinted hues add depth and richness to this historical piece, enhancing its overall allure. Every intricate detail has been meticulously captured by the artist's skilled hand, from the folds of clothing to the expression on our protagonist's face. As we gaze upon this stunning illustration, we are transported back in time – witnessing not only a moment frozen within history but also gaining insight into an occupation that shaped medieval society. It serves as a reminder of how communication was facilitated centuries ago when postal services were still evolving.
