EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era, where craftsmanship and history intertwine. In this image, we see a shoemaker who has boldly set up his shop amidst the ancient ruins of Rome. The scene is reminiscent of a time long ago, when skilled artisans plied their trade in unconventional settings. The shoemaker's atelier stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of human ingenuity and adaptability. Surrounded by crumbling columns and weathered stone walls, he diligently works on his craft with an air of determination. His tools are simple yet effective, reflecting both tradition and innovation. The juxtaposition between the modern-day craftsman and the timeless ruins creates a powerful visual narrative. It speaks to our fascination with history, reminding us that even in the face of decay, beauty can still be found. This enigmatic engraving was originally published in "Le tour du monde" in 1869, edited by Edouard Charton. It showcases not only the talent of an unknown artist from the 19th century but also highlights how art can transcend time. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back to an era where laborious work coexisted harmoniously with ancient splendor. It serves as a poignant reminder that creativity knows no boundaries – it flourishes even amidst ruins.
