EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving by Heinrich Leutemann takes us back to Ancient Rome, showcasing the bustling trade of selling and manufacturing books. The image beautifully depicts a scene from antiquity, where intellectual pursuits were highly valued. In this vibrant print, we see a bookshop filled with various individuals engaged in different activities related to books. A copyist diligently works on reproducing ancient texts while another person reads attentively from a scroll. The seller interacts with potential customers, offering them an array of written treasures. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the writing cases and paper used during that time period. The factory-like setting emphasizes the mass production of books, highlighting their significance as commodities in Roman society. Leutemann's work not only provides us with a glimpse into Ancient Rome but also serves as a reminder of the importance placed on knowledge and literacy throughout history. This engraving transports us back centuries ago when books were cherished possessions and reading was considered an essential part of intellectual growth. Stefano Bianchetti has expertly captured this historical moment through his reproduction of Leutemann's original artwork. As we admire this print, we are reminded of how far humanity has come in preserving and disseminating knowledge since the days depicted here in Ancient Rome.
