EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Cobweb" is a mesmerizing piece of art from the 19th century. The intricate details of the cobweb, delicately woven by a spider, are beautifully captured in this print. As we gaze at this image, we can almost feel the fragility of the web and imagine it shimmering in the sunlight. The engraving was originally created for an edition of Illustrated Poems and Songs for Young People edited by Mrs Sale Barker in 1885. It serves as a visual representation of one of the many enchanting poems or songs featured in that collection. This artwork transports us back to a time when poetry and music were cherished forms of entertainment. The artist's skillful hand brings out every strand of silk with precision, showcasing their mastery over their craft. The attention to detail is remarkable; each line etched into the paper adds depth and texture to this exquisite illustration. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "Cobweb" also reminds us of nature's wonders. Spiders have long fascinated humans with their ability to create such intricate structures using only their own bodies. This engraving captures not just an arachnid's creation but also evokes a sense of wonder at the beauty found within our natural world. Bridgeman Images has preserved this stunning piece as part of their private collection, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its timeless charm.
