EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of history and tradition. Titled "Common Prayer, HMs Printers 1662" this image takes us back to a time when books were meticulously crafted works of art. The photograph showcases an illustration from a catalogue compiled by Alfred Forbes Johnson in 1934, featuring an engraved and etched English title page. The intricate decoration on the title page transports us to England in the 17th century, where religious texts held great significance. This particular edition of Common Prayer was printed by HMs Printers in 1662, making it a valuable piece of British heritage. The photographer behind this image remains unknown but their skill is evident in capturing every detail with precision. The print now resides in a private collection, adding to its allure and exclusivity. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the rich cultural tapestry that Europe holds within its borders. Germany's influence can be seen through the mention of Germanic culture and North Germany as well. Intriguingly, this photograph also serves as a reminder that books have always been more than just vessels for knowledge; they are objects that carry stories from one generation to another. This timeless piece invites us to appreciate not only the content within its pages but also the craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces throughout history.
