EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of a remarkable piece of furniture known as the "Great bookcase". Created between 1859 and 1862, this magnificent bookcase is made from pine and features intricate carvings, vibrant paintings, and delicate gilding. Measuring an impressive 317.5x173.9x49.5 cm, it can be found at the Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford, UK. The English School from the 19th century is credited with creating this masterpiece that exemplifies both decorative arts and fine art. The attention to detail in its ornate design reflects a deep appreciation for beauty and elegance prevalent during this era. The bookcase's elaborate decoration includes depictions of gods and goddesses, symbolizing divinity and eternal fatherhood. It also portrays feminine figures representing chastity and gracefulness. Intriguingly, panpipes or flutes are incorporated into its design, suggesting a connection to music or perhaps invoking a sense of harmony within its surroundings. This photograph captures not only the sheer grandeur of the Great Bookcase but also serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Its presence in the Ashmolean Museum allows visitors to marvel at this extraordinary work of art while providing insight into England's rich cultural heritage.
