EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Usurer" takes us back to the year 1880, immersing us in a bygone era of history and culture. The image is an engraved illustration that showcases the illustrative technique prevalent during the Victorian period. In this scene, we witness a tense exchange between two individuals: the usurer and Magpie. The usurer, filled with scorn and contempt, tosses an old pocket-book towards Magpie. Inside lies a ten-pound note - his own money returned to him with interest. This moment captures the essence of greed and exploitation that often characterized financial transactions during that time. The retro-styled engraving transports us to another world, evoking nostalgia for vintage aesthetics. Its intricate details showcase the skillful artistry involved in creating engravements back then. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection's archives, we are reminded of how historical images can serve as windows into different eras. They allow us to reflect on societal values and shed light on past events through visual storytelling.
