EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 12th century, showcasing an exquisite piece of history housed in the British Museum. Captured in 1862 by Freeman Gage Delamotte, this image is a part of his renowned book titled "The Book of Ornamental Alphabets - Ancient & Mediaeval". Delamotte's work aimed to preserve and celebrate the beauty found within historical lettering and script. In this particular print, we are presented with a stunning example of medieval upper case alphabet. The intricate details and ornamental design showcase the craftsmanship that was prevalent during this era. Each letter is meticulously crafted, reflecting both artistic expression and functional communication. The color palette used in this print adds depth and vibrancy to each character, bringing them to life on the page. It serves as a reminder that even though centuries have passed since its creation, this alphabet still holds immense visual appeal. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it transports us back to a time when writing was an art form unto itself. It reminds us of our connection to history and how these ancient forms continue to inspire contemporary designs. This image invites us into the world of medieval calligraphy while honoring its place within both 19th-century documentation and modern-day appreciation for heritage preservation.
