EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the essence of the Allegorical Tomb of Laurens Jansz. Coster, a monumental tribute to the inventor of the printing press. Created in 1823 by Pieter Bartholomeusz. Barbiers, this masterpiece stands as a symbol of celebration for the 400th anniversary of Coster's groundbreaking invention in 1423. In this image, we see a woman standing beside an unlit torch, representing enlightenment and knowledge. She delicately places a wreath on top of the tomb, paying homage to Coster's immense contribution to literature and education. The tomb itself is adorned with printed books that hang from its sides like precious treasures. Each book bears Coster's signature, reminding us of his pioneering spirit and dedication to spreading ideas through printed words. A child stands nearby, gazing at the monument with awe and curiosity - perhaps envisioning their own future shaped by the power of books. This print serves as a reminder not only of Laurens Jansz. Coster's legacy but also highlights Pieter Bartholomeusz. Barbiers' artistic prowess in capturing such an allegorical scene with meticulous detail. Quint Lox has skillfully preserved this momentous occasion through his lens, allowing us to appreciate both history and artistry intertwined within one frame.
