EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a box of 30 alphabetical cubes dating back to 1898, each cube intricately designed with the letter "R" and dedicated to various metiers. The cover of the box is beautifully illustrated by H. Roy, adding a touch of artistic flair to this vintage piece. The collection, housed in a private collection, offers a glimpse into the craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into creating educational tools in the late nineteenth century. Each cube represents a different aspect of labor and industry, highlighting the importance of skilled trades during that time period. The binder (binding) depicted on these cubes serves as a reminder of the artistry and precision required in bookbinding, showcasing the dedication and expertise of craftsmen from generations past. The intricate engravings on each cube speak to the level of care put into their creation, making them not only functional but also visually appealing. Overall, this print captures a moment in history where education and craftsmanship intersected, resulting in a unique and timeless piece that continues to inspire awe today. It stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of handmade goods and serves as a window into our rich cultural heritage.
