1687 Archery Arrow Games Jan Luyken Letterpress Printing Shooting Skill Mentioned
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection captures a moment frozen in time, depicting a woman engaged in the ancient art of archery. With her bow drawn and arrow poised, she exudes both grace and determination. However, what makes this image truly intriguing is its title: "Woman shoots bow arrow Dies shooting arrow archery". The photograph seems to tell a tragic tale of an unfortunate event that unfolded during this intense display of skill. The viewer is left wondering about the circumstances surrounding her untimely demise. Was it an accident or some unforeseen twist of fate? The ambiguity adds an air of mystery to the already mesmerizing composition. Dated back to 1687 Amsterdam, this paper print showcases remarkable letterpress printing techniques employed by Jan Luyken, whose name is mentioned on the object itself. It measures approximately 95 mm in height and 75 mm in width. While we are not privy to any commercial use associated with this particular piece, it serves as a testament to the enduring fascination humans have had with games requiring great skill throughout history. This evocative image invites us to reflect upon our own mortality while admiring the beauty and precision captured within its frame.
