EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Serlio's alphabet from 1539, a remarkable piece of artistry by Sebastiano Serlio. The alphabet is featured at the end of his Quattro libro, a text on architecture, and was possibly included to assist in the carving of inscriptions. This particular print is part of a private collection and falls under public domain due to its age. The image exudes an air of proportion and classical elegance with its architectural drawing style. The Roman grid serves as the foundation for each capital letter, demonstrating meticulous craftsmanship. Each character possesses a unique charm that effortlessly combines elements from Gothic, Mannerist, and Italian Renaissance styles. The typography enthusiasts will be enthralled by this specimen as it presents an exquisite fusion of Latin characters within an Italian context. The intricate design highlights the mastery behind creating visually appealing letters that seamlessly blend into any architectural composition. As you delve into this photo print, you can't help but appreciate how these alphabets transcend their functional purpose to become works of art themselves. They stand as testaments to Serlio's artistic vision and his contribution to both architecture and graphic design during his time.
