EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting photograph captures a collection of Finest Indian Ink in exquisite oriental-style containers, dating back to the late Victorian era around the 1880s. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the intricate beauty and rich history of these ink vessels. The ink, produced from a natural source, was highly prized for its superior quality during this period. The Finest Indian Ink was known for its intense black color and smooth flow, making it the preferred choice for artists seeking to create masterpieces. The containers, with their oriental-inspired design, add an air of sophistication and mystery to the ink. The hexagonal shapes, finished in a deep japanned black and adorned with gilt characters, exude an aura of elegance and refinement. The Chinese characters on the containers not only add to their aesthetic appeal but also serve as a testament to the ink's exotic origins. The photograph, taken from the catalog of Reeves, Sons & Co., an esteemed art supplies company of the time, provides a glimpse into the world of art supplies during the late Victorian era. The image invites us to imagine the artists of the time, hunched over their easels, dipping their brushes into the inkwells, and bringing their creations to life. This photograph is a reminder of the importance of tradition and craftsmanship in the world of art. The Finest Indian Ink and its oriental-style containers continue to inspire artists and collectors alike, serving as a bridge to the past and a testament to the enduring allure of the artistic process.
