EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Comb from the eleventh century, currently housed in the prestigious British Museum. The engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century, beautifully captures the intricate details of this historical artifact. The comb itself is a remarkable example of English craftsmanship during that era and serves as a testament to the rich history of industrial arts. This particular image was featured in "The Industrial Arts" a publication commissioned by the Board of Education around 1890. Digitally cleaned to enhance its visual appeal, this print allows us to appreciate every delicate curve and pattern etched into the ivory surface. Its origins can be traced back to England but also reflect influences from Germanic cultures prevalent in Northern Germany at that time. As we gaze upon this piece, it transports us back centuries ago when combs were not only functional tools but also symbols of status and beauty. It offers a glimpse into European history and reminds us of Great Britain's significant contributions to art and culture. With its fascinating blend of historical significance and artistic mastery, this print is sure to captivate any admirer of fine art or those with an interest in exploring our shared cultural heritage.
