EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling world of banking operations in 1496. The image, captured on parchment by an anonymous Spanish School artist from the 15th century, offers a rare glimpse into the intricate workings of commerce and finance during medieval times. The scene depicted showcases a fragment from a manual used by bankers of that era. It reveals the meticulous processes involved in deals, trades, and money handling. A clerk can be seen diligently recording transactions while surrounded by stacks of documents and ledgers. The bank building itself stands as a symbol of economic power and prosperity. Transporting goods plays a crucial role in this thriving economy, with images depicting corporations engaged in free trade across borders. These enterprises were instrumental in shaping business practices that continue to influence our modern financial systems. As we observe this historical artifact, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days of banking operations. Yet at its core, the essence remains unchanged - trust between individuals conducting business dealings. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we are able to appreciate this remarkable piece from the Archivo de Protocolos Museo Comarcal de Manresa in Spain. This print not only captures fragments of history but also invites us to reflect upon our own roles within today's global economy.
