EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century etching and roulette print, titled "Place Card" by Henri-Charles Guerard, transports us back in time to an era of elegance and refinement. Measuring at a modest 17.5x7 cm, this exquisite piece is housed within the prestigious Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The delicate craftsmanship of this artwork suggests that it may have been created for the esteemed Diner Dentu. Its purpose as a place card becomes evident as we observe the intricate details carefully engraved onto its surface. The circular shape adds a touch of sophistication while serving its practical function flawlessly. As we envision ourselves attending an opulent dinner party, we can imagine these place cards adorning each guest's designated spot at the table. Each name meticulously inscribed upon them serves not only to indicate where one should sit but also acts as a personal touch that enhances the overall dining experience. This particular print captures our attention with its timeless beauty and historical significance. Donated by Mrs. John S. Pillsbury Sr. , it stands as a testament to her appreciation for art and her desire to preserve cultural heritage. Through this remarkable work of art, Guerard invites us into his world - one filled with grace, charm, and meticulous attention to detail - reminding us that even something as seemingly simple as a name card can hold immense artistic value.
