EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a remarkable title page of the European Mercury newspaper, dating back to the year 1700. The image depicts Mercury, also known as Hermes in Greek mythology, pointing out six distinguished gentlemen towards a news print. The composition is adorned with an intriguing representation of a bombed city above this scene, symbolizing the chaos and destruction brought by war. At the bottom of the page, we witness an intense attack on a besieged fortress led by a courageous commander-in-chief on horseback. This powerful imagery tells the story of bravery and determination amidst adversity. Created by Jan Luyken in Amsterdam using etching techniques, this paper print measures approximately 173 mm in height and 139 mm in width. The fusion of artistry and journalism is evident through this historical piece that captures both mythological elements and real-life events. It serves as a reminder of how newspapers have played an essential role throughout history in disseminating information to society.
