EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic book illustration from J Schefferus' "The History of Lapland" published in Oxford in 1674. The image showcases the beautifully engraved title page, adorned with intricate decorations that reflect the artistic style of the time. This piece is part of a private collection and was photographed by an English photographer in the 20th century. The illustration itself serves as an important visual representation of early British literature and historical documentation. It was featured in Alfred Forbes Johnson's compilation, "A Catalogue of Engraved and Etched English Title-Pages" published by the Bibliographical Society in 1934. With its origins rooted in Germany, this piece also highlights the cultural exchange between Germany and Great Britain during this period. It offers a glimpse into Germanic influences on British history and underscores the interconnectedness of European nations. As we admire this photograph, we are reminded of how books have played a significant role in preserving our collective past. They serve as gateways to understanding different cultures, histories, and perspectives. This particular image invites us to explore Lapland's rich heritage while appreciating both Germanic and British contributions to academia.
