EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century in Switzerland, showcasing a Swiss courier in all his glory. Originally a statue on the Hotel de ville de Bale, this exquisite engraving has been reproduced from Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance, an esteemed publication by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud. The Swiss courier stands tall and proud, dressed impeccably in traditional attire of the era. His hat adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble as he fulfills his duty of delivering an important message. With one hand holding onto his delivery pouch and the other doffing his hat respectfully, he embodies professionalism and dedication. This full-length portrait captures not only the occupation but also provides insight into life during that time period. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in his clothing can be seen clearly. The monochrome effect enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of this nineteenth-century print. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a different era - a time when messengers played a crucial role in communication across countries. This Swiss courier represents not just a job or profession but also symbolizes the rich history and culture of Switzerland itself. Thanks to The Print Collector for preserving such valuable pieces of artistry from our past for generations to come.
