EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic title page from the 17th century, featuring an illustration for "G Boccaccio, The Modell of Witt, Decameron". The etching was done by T Cotes for B Allen and W Hope in 1634. This image is part of a private collection and showcases the intricate decoration and craftsmanship that went into English title pages during this period. The photograph was taken by an anonymous English photographer in the 20th century. It was later included in Alfred Forbes Johnson's compilation titled "A Catalogue of Engraved and Etched English Title-Pages" published by the Bibliographical Society in 1934. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its historical value but also as a representation of British culture and literary heritage. The book itself, "Decameron" written by G Boccaccio, holds great importance within European literature. This print serves as a reminder of the rich history embedded within books and their visual elements. It transports us back to a time when engraved title pages were meticulously crafted to captivate readers before they even delved into the contents of the text. With its detailed engravings and elegant design, this image offers viewers a glimpse into both past artistic techniques and timeless storytelling traditions.
