EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the cover design of "A Concise Encyclopaedia of Gastronomy, Section II, Fish" from 1940. The creator remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to this piece. The cover features a page of text adorned with an exquisite illustration of cutlery intertwined with a delicate grapevine. This particular edition was printed for the Wine and Food Society in London in 1940. The image transports us back to mid-20th century England, where gastronomy held great importance. It captures the essence of British cuisine and culture during that time period. The inclusion of fish, fruit, grapes, and cutlery symbolizes the rich culinary heritage and attention to detail associated with English food. Published in Francis Meynell's book "English Printed Books" by Collins in 1946, this print holds historical significance as it reflects not only graphic design trends but also social history surrounding food consumption during the forties. The collaboration between William Collins Sons publishing company and Sir Francis Meredith Wilfrid Meynell highlights their dedication to preserving British culinary traditions through literature. This print serves as a visual representation of their efforts. Overall, this evocative image offers a glimpse into the past—a moment frozen in time—where gastronomy meets artistry on the pages of an encyclopaedia dedicated to celebrating all things fish-related within British cuisine.
