EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Illustrations from Christmas Books" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the intricate engravings by an English School artist. The artwork is part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 21,1872. The image transports us into a world of literary wonders, where we witness King Malcolm engrossed in reading Reynard the Fox. Surrounding him are various scenes depicting battles, biblical tales, and even tea time with Queen Margaret. These illustrations bring to life stories that have captivated generations. Amongst the vibrant imagery lies deeper symbolism related to health and medicine. A dwarf figure stands out, representing deformity and illness while invoking thoughts about physical well-being. References to Asklepios (Asclepius), the Greek god of healing, further emphasize this theme. Intriguingly, this print also touches upon infectious diseases such as flu and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It serves as a reminder of how medical science has evolved over time in combating these maladies. Overall, this remarkable piece offers not only artistic beauty but also glimpses into historical literature and reflections on human health throughout centuries. Bridgeman Images presents yet another treasure through their Fine Art Finder collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate and explore.
