EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable historical artifact - a letter from King Rene of Anjou, dating back to the 15th century. The letter, accompanied by an extraordinary gift of a special steel long-range crossbow made by a Saracen of Barcelona, was addressed to Monsieur du Plessis. Preserved in impeccable condition, this document offers us a glimpse into the medieval world and the diplomatic exchanges that took place during that time. The intricate handwriting on the letter bears the unmistakable signature of King Rene himself, who reigned as both King of Naples and Jerusalem. Its presence in "The Connoisseur" magazine from January 1934 adds another layer to its historical significance. As we delve into this piece of history captured through Edward Gordon Wenham's lens, we are transported back to an era where kings communicated through handwritten letters and exchanged extravagant gifts as tokens of friendship or diplomacy. This photograph evokes feelings of awe for those who appreciate not only art but also the rich tapestry woven by our ancestors. With Herbert Granville Fell's expertise behind it, this monochrome image serves as a testament to his dedication in preserving such valuable artifacts for generations to come. As we admire this print collector's work, let us remember that it is through these visual representations that history continues to breathe life into our present-day understanding.
