EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a calligraphic design of an elephant, created by the Dutch School in the 17th century. Measuring 23x36 cm, this engraving is part of a private collection and depicts various kinds of script and penmanship. The intricate details were engraved by Simon Wijnhoutsz de Vries (Frisius) after David Roelands, who was known for his artistic talent during that era. The image originates from "t Magazin oft Pac-huys der loffelycker Penn-const" a publication illustrating different forms of writing and lettering. Published in 1616-1617 and again in the late 17th century, this piece exemplifies the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during those times. Displayed against a white background, the majestic elephant stands tall with its full length visible. The artist's expertise is evident in every stroke as they capture the animal's posture and essence flawlessly. This print not only serves as an example of applied art but also highlights the beauty of calligraphy. With no people present in the composition, all attention is directed towards this magnificent creature. Its side view allows us to appreciate its grandeur while emphasizing its significance within European art history. Overall, this print encapsulates both historical importance and artistic excellence through its portrayal of an enchanting calligraphic design featuring one remarkable mammal - the elephant.
