EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back to Padua, Italy, in the year 1831. The scene depicts a bustling street filled with people, but our attention is drawn to a letter writer sitting at his desk. With a quill pen in hand, he diligently transcribes love letters dictated by a crowd of women customers surrounding him. Beside the letter writer stands a printseller showcasing various prints for sale. This charming image captures not only the art of communication through written words but also highlights the importance and popularity of love letters during this time period. The engraving, titled "The Italian Scribe" was created by Thomas Rowlandson and later handcolored. It originally appeared as an illustration in W. H. Harrison's book "The Humourist". This satirical drawing provides insight into everyday life and societal customs of that era. Padua's vibrant atmosphere comes alive through this artwork, showcasing its population and professions against the backdrop of an enchanting street scene. Love is undoubtedly one of humanity's most enduring themes, evident here as people seek out assistance in expressing their affectionate sentiments. As we gaze upon this print from centuries past, it serves as both a historical artifact and a reminder that even amidst technological advancements today, there remains something timeless about putting pen to paper to convey matters of the heart.
