EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Haydn's "Anti-Visiting" card, a unique artifact that reveals the composer's vulnerability and self-awareness. Translated from German, the inscription on the card reads, "Gone is all my strength, old and weak am I". These poignant words offer a glimpse into Haydn's state of mind during his later years. Franz Joseph Haydn was an esteemed Austrian composer who lived from 1732 to 1809. He played a pivotal role in shaping classical music during the Golden Age of Vienna. This period saw an explosion of creativity and innovation in music composition. The print captures an archival engraving from 1948, showcasing this historical relic with great detail and clarity.

It humanizes him and allows us to connect with his struggles on a deeper level. This print is not just about capturing an image; it also invites us to reflect on our own mortality and the fleeting nature of time. It reminds us that even geniuses like Haydn are subject to the passage of years. Ken Welsh has expertly captured this moment in history through his skillful photography, allowing viewers to appreciate both the beauty of artistry and its inherent impermanence.
