EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th-early 20th century Bucharest, Romania. The creator of this exquisite piece remains unknown, but their talent for capturing the essence of the city's heritage is undeniable. The focal point of this decorative coat of arms is a majestic pearl-encrusted crown that symbolizes royalty and power. Just below it, we find the motto "Patria Si Dreptul Meu" (The Homeland And My Right), representing the deep connection between its people and their rights within their beloved homeland. Flanking the central panel are two dolphins, adding an element of grace and elegance to the design. Nestled within medallions on either side are portraits of Saints Constantine and Helena, paying homage to Roman Emperor Constantine the Great and his mother Helena. These figures hold great significance in Christianity as they played pivotal roles in shaping its history. At the bottom lies a striking bull's head, perhaps symbolizing strength or prosperity associated with Bucharest at that time. This art nouveau-inspired creation showcases intricate engraving techniques combined with Byzantine influences. It serves not only as a visual delight but also as a historical artifact reflecting Romania's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates both religious devotion and civic pride in one harmonious composition. It stands as a testament to Bucharest's past glory while inviting us to explore its vibrant history further.
