EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "From the Quatriregio of Frezzi, printed at Florence, 1508" takes us back to the early days of printing and literature. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection. The illustration originates from Facsimiles from Early Printed Books in the British Museum (The British Museum, 1897), showcasing its historical significance. It depicts a scene filled with symbolism and intrigue. In the foreground stands a book, representing knowledge and wisdom. The spirit of evil hovers above it menacingly while Cupid pursues his romantic endeavors nearby. This print beautifully captures the essence of early literature's power to captivate readers through its combination of love and danger. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, authors and printers worked diligently to bring stories to life for their audiences. The intricate details showcased in this engraving highlight not only the skillful craftsmanship but also pay homage to writers who have shaped literary history. This piece transports us back in time when books were cherished treasures that held immense power within their pages. As we admire this facsimile print today, let it serve as a testament to our enduring fascination with literature's ability to transport us into worlds both real and imagined.
