EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Byzantine gospel-book cover, an exquisite piece of art made from enamel on copper-gilt. Housed in the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum's collections, this artefact is a testament to the rich history of Byzantium and Christianity. The vibrant colours and intricate metalwork are beautifully captured in this full-frame image. The craftsmanship displayed in this book cover is truly remarkable. Every detail, from the delicate enamel work to the shimmering copper gilt, speaks volumes about the skill and dedication of its creators. This square-shaped object holds immense religious significance as it once adorned a sacred gospel book. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to an era where literature was not only cherished but also revered as a spiritual guide. The fusion of artistry and faith is evident in every brushstroke and etching on this enchanting cover. Thanks to photographers CM Dixon and Mike Dixon, we can now appreciate the beauty of this historical treasure even if we cannot see it firsthand at the Victoria and Albert Museum or its Museum of Ornamental Art. This image serves as a reminder that our cultural heritage should be celebrated, preserved, and shared with future generations who seek inspiration from our past.
