EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Brussels Packet 1625-77 Etching first state" takes us back in time to the bustling maritime world of the 17th century. The artwork, created by Wenceslaus Hollar, a renowned Bohemian artist from Prague who later settled in London, captures a moment on board a Brussels packet ship. In the centre foreground of the etching, we see passengers eagerly boarding the sailing vessel. Their faces are filled with anticipation and excitement for their upcoming journey. The ship itself is intricately detailed, showcasing Hollar's mastery of etching techniques. To the left of the packet ship lies another vessel docked at the harbour in Antwerp. This adds depth to the composition and hints at a vibrant maritime community thriving in this port town. In the background, beyond Antwerp's townscape, we catch glimpses of other ships dotting the horizon. The sizeable dimensions of this print (measuring approximately 148 x 238 cm) allow us to appreciate every intricate detail that Hollar has meticulously captured. From delicate lines depicting rigging and sails to tiny figures engaged in various activities on deck or along quaysides – each element tells its own story within this larger narrative. Through Artokoloro's expert reproduction technique, this print transports us back centuries ago when packets like these were vital lifelines connecting people and goods across Europe's waterways. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document that allows us to immerse
