EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the opening page of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's renowned poem, Christabel. Created between 1895 and 1914 by artist Lucien Pissaro for the Eragny Press, this illustrated page exemplifies the artistic beauty of late 19th to early 20th-century publications. The image captures a moment from Coleridge's long narrative poem, depicting an extract that draws readers into its enchanting world. The vibrant colors and intricate design reflect the Victorian era's penchant for ornate aesthetics while maintaining a sense of elegance and sophistication. The meticulous lettering and typeface further enhance the visual appeal, showcasing the attention to detail prevalent in graphic design during this period. This print is not just a representation of literature but also a testament to the artistry involved in book printing. Published in The Art of the Book edited by Charles Holme in 1914, this piece serves as both an homage to Coleridge's timeless poetry and a celebration of artistic expression within literature. It transports viewers back to a time when printed works were treasured possessions, cherished for their craftsmanship as much as their content. As we admire this exquisite print today, we can appreciate how it encapsulates multiple centuries' worth of creativity – from Coleridge's poetic genius to Pissaro's artistic interpretation. It stands as a reminder that great literature has always been intertwined with visual artistry throughout history.
