EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving by Pierre Didot, a renowned artist from the 18th to 19th century. The artwork, titled "Assignat de cinq hundred livres" is a stunning representation of a banknote inked on paper in 1790. Housed in the Musee de l'imprimerie Lyon, France, this masterpiece captures the essence of French monarchy during that era. The engraving features intricate details and precision, highlighting the delicate craftsmanship of Pierre Didot. The prominent image of King Louis XVI adorns the center of the banknote, symbolizing his reign over France. Surrounding him are elegant lily flowers, known as fleur-de-lys, which have long been associated with French royalty. Through this artwork, viewers can catch a glimpse into history and witness the beauty and artistry embedded in currency design during that time period. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and monetary value. Leonard de Selva's expert photography brings out every nuance and detail of this remarkable piece. With his keen eye for composition and lighting, he has captured its essence flawlessly. As we admire this print today, it reminds us not only of France's rich cultural heritage but also prompts contemplation about how art intertwines with finance throughout history.
