EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the Sign of Fleet, the printer who famously published the first edition of Mother Goose. The intricate details and craftsmanship in this piece transport us back to the 19th century, a time when printing was an art form in itself. The image showcases a historical moment in literary history, as we see the signpost proudly displaying Fleet's name and legacy. It is a reminder of the importance of printers in bringing stories and knowledge to life through their work. The black and white contrast adds a sense of nostalgia to the scene, emphasizing the timeless nature of this print. The fine lines and shading create depth and texture, making it feel almost three-dimensional. As we gaze upon this engraving, we can't help but imagine what it must have been like to walk past Fleet's shop during that era. The hustle and bustle of London streets, with people eagerly seeking out new books and publications from his press. Overall, this print serves as a beautiful homage to an unsung hero of literature - the printer who played a crucial role in sharing stories with generations past. It is a testament to their dedication and passion for their craft that continues to inspire us today.
