EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Izaak Enschede, the visionary founder of the renowned printing company Royal Joh. Enschede, during the 18th century. Captured by an unknown photographer, this image is a remarkable piece from Penroses Pictorial Annual, Vol. XIV, edited by William Gamble in 1908-9. Enschede's dignified presence is evident as he gazes directly at the viewer with a sense of confidence and wisdom. Dressed in traditional Dutch attire, his hat adds a touch of elegance to his ensemble while reflecting the fashion trends of that era. The intricate pattern on his clothing resonates with both cultural significance and personal style. It symbolizes his deep connection to Holland's rich heritage and serves as a testament to his commitment towards preserving traditional craftsmanship through printing. The circular inset framing enhances the portrait's composition, drawing attention solely to Enschede himself. This deliberate choice emphasizes his pivotal role as not only an entrepreneur but also as a pioneer who revolutionized the world of printing during that time. As we delve into this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that Izaak Enschede was more than just a man; he was an embodiment of innovation and dedication. His legacy continues to inspire generations within the printing industry even today.
