EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Astronomical clock of Strasbourg Cathedral, a true masterpiece from the 16th century. Created in 1573 and captured in this wood engraving by Paul Lacroix in 1870, it is an extraordinary blend of art, science, and religion. The intricate details of this medieval artifact are brought to life through Lacroix's skilled craftsmanship. The clock's mechanism not only tells time but also tracks celestial movements with its astronomical features. It serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with the cosmos during that era. Standing proudly within Strasbourg Cathedral, this remarkable creation symbolizes the intertwining relationship between Christianity and scientific exploration. Its presence within such a sacred space highlights the importance placed on understanding both earthly and heavenly realms. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are transported back to a time when technology was limited yet imagination knew no bounds. This print allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such an elaborate timekeeping device while also reminding us of our ancestors' quest for knowledge about the universe. Thanks to Paul Lacroix's artistic vision, we can now admire this historical treasure from centuries past. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and curiosity that continues to inspire us today.
