EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from Voltaire's renowned work, "Candide" published by Gibert Jeune in 1952. Created by the talented artist Umberto Brunelleschi, this colour engraving beautifully captures the essence of Voltaire's satirical masterpiece. The image depicts a bustling port scene filled with elements that symbolize trade and travel. A majestic ship stands tall in the background, its sails billowing in the wind as it prepares for a journey across vast oceans. Nearby, traders can be seen busy at work, their attention focused on barrels and goods ready to be transported. In the foreground, a distinguished gentleman wearing a tricorne hat and smoking a pipe commands attention. He exudes an air of confidence and sophistication as he oversees the activities taking place around him. A ram accompanies him, perhaps representing strength or prosperity. The intricate details of this engraving transport us back to a time when maritime trade played a vital role in shaping societies worldwide. It serves as both an artistic marvel and historical documentation of an era defined by exploration and commerce. This remarkable print is part of a private collection that cherishes fine art masterpieces like these.
