EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the upper book cover of a rare and exquisite piece of French art from the 19th century. The semi-naturalistic design features intricately detailed lotuses and honeysuckle flowerheads, creating a mesmerizing floral pattern in shades of purple and golden hues. The artist's skill is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the delicate beauty of these flowering plants. The book cover, crafted by Henri Marius Michel, is made from grey-brown crushed levant morocco over bevelled boards, adding an element of luxury to this already remarkable artwork. Printed in Paris by Hachette in 1886, it measures an impressive 59x35.5 cm. Originally part of "Le Cantique des Cantiques traduit de l Hebreu par Ernest Renan" (Song of Songs in French), this upper book cover stands as a testament to both artistic talent and literary significance. Its ornate design perfectly complements the poetic nature of the text within. Displayed against a plain background with no distractions or people present, this close-up photograph allows us to appreciate every intricate detail and color variation within the floral pattern. It serves as a reminder that art can be found not only on canvas but also within applied arts such as bookbinding. This stunning image captures the essence of late 19th-century French artistry while preserving its historical value for future generations to admire and study.
