EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a letter from the renowned Dr John Donne to Sir Robert Cotton, dating back to around 1602. The artist, also named John Donne, skillfully captures the essence of this historical correspondence in his work. The letter itself is a response from Donne, returning with criticisms a copy of Jacobus Valdesius' treatise on Spain's precedency over other nations. Published in Granada in 1602, Valdesius' work explores the dignity and honor bestowed upon Spanish kings and their ambassadors by councils and the Roman See. The photograph highlights not only the content of this significant exchange but also its physicality. The color reproduction allows us to appreciate the intricate handwriting and manuscript style used during that era. It transports us back to the seventeenth century when such letters were cherished for their intellectual value and cultural significance. The location of this particular print within the British Museum's Department of Manuscripts adds another layer of depth to its meaning. As part of a series featuring royal, historical, literary, and other autographs, it stands as a testament to our collective heritage. In capturing this momentous piece of history through photography, we are reminded not only of these influential figures like Donne and Cotton but also Diego de Valdes - whose treatise sparked critical discourse during that time period. This print serves as an invaluable visual representation connecting past generations with our present understanding of literature, politics, and society at large.
