EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us on a journey back in time to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of palaeography and historic writing. Plate XVII from Henry Noel Humphreys' renowned book "The Origin and Progress of the Art of Writing" showcases an exquisite collection of autograph letters, each bearing the unique handwriting style of prominent figures from that era. Among these remarkable examples are writings by Anne of Austria, Charles I of England, Oliver Cromwell, Nicolas Boileau to Jean Racine, and Cristina of Sweden. The delicate engravings beautifully capture the essence and intricacy of their penmanship. Published in 1868 by William Mackenzie in Glasgow, Edinburgh & London, this antique image exudes an air of sophistication and nostalgia. Its vintage charm transports us to a time when handwritten correspondence was cherished as an art form. As we admire this piece's 17th-century style and engraved details, we cannot help but marvel at how it preserves snippets from history within its frames. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with the written word and its ability to connect generations across centuries. Whiteway's masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate these historical treasures anew while adding a touch of elegance to any space fortunate enough to display it.
