EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Carving a piece of wood, illustration for Antikamnia Calendar, 1898" takes us back to the late 19th century. The image showcases an intriguing scene where a man is deeply engrossed in carving a piece of wood. Created by Louis Crucius or Crusuius, this colour lithograph brings together elements of relief, medicine, and surrealism. The man's odd expression and surreal surroundings add an air of mystery to the artwork. With his hat perched on his head and a long beard flowing down his chest, he appears both bizarre and fascinating. Sitting amidst logs with a skull nearby, it seems as though he has entered into another realm altogether. The presence of medical symbols like bones and skeletons hints at the connection between art and science during that era. Perhaps this illustration was meant to convey some message about pain or health through its peculiar imagery. The artist's skillful use of colours adds depth to the wooden carving being worked upon by the man. Every stroke seems deliberate as if each cut holds significance beyond what meets the eye. Overall, this unique piece from the Antikamnia Calendar transports us into a world where reality merges with imagination. It serves as a reminder that art can be strange yet beautiful while also reflecting societal interests such as medicine and healthcare during that time period.
