EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite book cover for "La Creation" by Joseph-Charles Mardrus, created in 1928. Crafted by the talented Swiss artist Francois-Louis Schmied, this royal blue Moroccan leather cover is adorned with intricate gilt detailing that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. Measuring at 33.2x23.1 cm, this close-up image allows us to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail put into creating this masterpiece. The circular shape of the book cover against a white background draws our focus towards its center, where we find the title "La Creation" elegantly displayed. The first of three books on Genesis, this stunning book cover transports us into a world of knowledge and imagination. Its rich blue color symbolizes depth and wisdom while hinting at themes such as procreation and origins explored within its pages. The combination of black text against golden gilt creates a striking contrast that further enhances the visual appeal of this artwork. As we delve deeper into its design, we notice subtle patterns reminiscent of celestial bodies or perhaps even elements from the solar system. Displayed in a private collection, this photograph captures not only an exceptional piece of decorative art but also serves as a testament to the skillful collaboration between A. Pinard-Lefort (binder) and Francois Louis Schmied (illustrator). It stands as an enduring tribute to their talent and creativity in bringing Mardrus' literary work to life through visually captivating design elements.
