EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The rope maker" takes us back to the 19th century, illustrating a significant voyage to Japan in 1863-1864. The engraving was created by Aime Humbert, minister of the Swiss Confederation, for the renowned publication "Le tour du monde, nouveau journal des voyages" under the direction of Edouard Charton. In this image, we are transported into a traditional Japanese setting where a skilled craftsman is diligently working on his craft. The rope maker's expertise is evident as he meticulously weaves strands together using ancient manufacturing techniques. His hands move with precision and grace as he creates strong and durable ropes that have been an integral part of Asian culture for centuries. This photograph captures not only the laborious process involved in rope making but also highlights the rich tradition and cultural significance attached to this metier. It serves as a testament to the enduring craftsmanship found in Asia. The artist's choice to present this scene in black and white adds depth and nostalgia to the image, emphasizing its historical context. Through this print from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are granted a glimpse into an era when handcrafted goods were valued above all else. Overall, "The rope maker" stands as a remarkable piece of art that celebrates both Asian traditions and human ingenuity while reminding us of our connection to history through timeless craftsmanship.
