EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century in Europe, where silk production was at its peak. The image showcases the intricate process of reeling threads from silk cocoons, a crucial step in creating this luxurious fabric. From the Vermis Sericus series of engravings by Karel van Mallery after Jan van der Straet's work, known as Stradanus, this illustration offers a glimpse into the historical significance of silk production during that era. The vibrant colors and meticulous details bring life to this vintage artwork. In an era before modern machinery took over, skilled workers dedicated themselves to this labor-intensive occupation. They carefully extracted delicate threads from each cocoon with precision and expertise. This image serves as a testament to their craftsmanship and dedication. As we admire this archival piece, it reminds us of the rich history behind one of Europe's most sought-after commodities. Silk production played a pivotal role in shaping trade routes and cultural exchanges between nations during that time period. Ken Welsh's expertly captured print allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the hard work involved in producing such exquisite fabrics. It transports us back in time and invites us to marvel at the skillful hands that brought these stunning textiles into existence centuries ago.
