EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing scene from "The Wonderful Story of Pierre Schlemihl" by Aldebert Von Chamisso, a renowned German literature piece from 1836. The image depicts the enigmatic grey man, rolling the dice in a desperate attempt to win back the shadow of Schlemihl. Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The composition beautifully captures the essence of communication and conversation between these two imaginary characters. The grey man's grayling figure looms over the engraving, symbolizing his mysterious presence and perhaps hinting at deeper meanings within the story. As they engage in this intense barter, one can't help but wonder about their motivations and desires. The concept of wealth and capital sins also comes into play here as both characters seem driven by their lust for power or possessions. This visual representation invites viewers to delve into themes explored within German literature during that era. Leonard de Selva skillfully photographed this print, preserving its historical significance while allowing it to be appreciated by contemporary audiences. With copyright restrictions no longer applicable, this artwork serves as a window into another time and place where imagination thrived.
