Narrative:
- At the end of the 19th Century,
photography was becoming the medium of choice for making prints of
the original works of art. Until then, the engraving was the predominant
medium used for this purpose. The engravers, challenged by this new
competitive medium, were perfecting their skills and creating wood engravings
of unparalleled accuracy, quality and beauty. They became works of art
in their own right. The print offered here for sale is one of those works
of art.
