EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating engraving titled "Tablettes a ecrire en usage chez les Romains" by the French School in the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, offers us a glimpse into the historical erasable writing tablets used by the Romans. Intriguingly, this illustration was created for Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles de l Industrie" published around 1880. It beautifully captures the manufacturing process and industrial alternatives to paper during ancient times. The engraving highlights how these Roman tablets were an essential tool in their society's personal and professional lives. Before modern technology like iPads came into existence, these tablets served as portable writing surfaces that could be easily erased and reused—an ingenious invention indeed! As we admire this digitally cleaned image from Bridgeman Images, it reminds us of the rich history behind our everyday practices such as writing. The tablet-making industry played an integral role in shaping human civilization through its innovative approach to recording information. Let this enchanting artwork transport you back in time to explore one of humanity's earliest forms of written communication—a testament to our continuous quest for knowledge and progress throughout different historical periods.
