EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of craftsmanship known as the "Pole-Screen, Dublin, c. 1851". Created by Arthur James Jones and Son during the 19th century, this antique artifact represents the applied arts of Europe at its finest. Displayed in the prestigious Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork exemplifies the rich cultural heritage and historical significance of Ireland. The intricately carved brass mount beautifully complements the exquisite floral design that adorns this firescreen. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, every element on this pole-screen reflects exceptional artistry and skill. The use of Irish bog yew and mirror glass adds a touch of elegance to its overall appearance. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to a male figure standing beside it - perhaps an artist or a connoisseur appreciating its musical instrument-like structure. The presence of a harp symbolizes Ireland's deep-rooted musical tradition. This photograph not only captures an extraordinary work of art but also transports us back in time to significant events such as the Great Exhibition in London (1851) and the Great Industrial Exhibition in Dublin (1853). It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend boundaries - both geographically and temporally - connecting us with past cultures while inspiring future generations. Through this lens into history, we are reminded once again why museums like Art Institute Chicago play such crucial roles in preserving our collective heritage for all to admire and appreciate.
