EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable bronze door knocker dating back to the late 16th century in Italy. Crafted with exquisite attention to detail, this piece of art is an etching of two stylized dolphins flanking a graceful female figure above a delicate scallop shell. The door knocker's intricate design and fine craftsmanship reflect the artistic brilliance of the Renaissance era. The photograph is taken from "The South Kensington Museum" a book that features engraved illustrations and descriptions of various artworks housed in the Victoria & Albert Museum (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum) in London. Published in 1881 by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, this book serves as a valuable resource for art enthusiasts and historians alike. W Harbutt, the creator behind this stunning etching, has skillfully captured the essence of this historical artifact through his lens. The black-and-white composition adds depth and enhances its timeless appeal.
