EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in English literature. The image showcases the title page of "M Drayton, Polyolbion, M Lownes, etc 1612" an iconic book from the early 17th century. The photograph was taken by an anonymous English photographer in the 20th century and is now part of a private collection. The title page itself is beautifully decorated with intricate engravings and etchings that depict scenes from England's rich history. It serves as an illustration for Alfred Forbes Johnson's compilation titled "A Catalogue of Engraved and Etched English Title-Pages" published by the Bibliographical Society in 1934. This image provides a glimpse into the world of early printing techniques and showcases the artistry involved in creating elaborate title pages during this period. It also highlights Michael Drayton's renowned work, "Polyolbion" which celebrates British culture and history through poetic verses. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of how books have played a crucial role in preserving our cultural heritage throughout centuries. This piece serves as a testament to both the artistic talent behind book illustrations and their significance in documenting historical events for future generations to appreciate.
