EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Title-page of Lydgates Vertue of the Masse" takes us back to a bygone era when printed works were cherished treasures. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the intricate title page of John Lydgate's "Vertue of the Masse" expertly printed by Wynkyn de Worde. The image is rich with symbolism and religious motifs, reflecting both the significance of mass and the importance placed on it during that time. The meticulous details draw our attention to every element: from ornate borders adorned with delicate patterns to a central illustration depicting livery companies in action. This illustration was originally intended for W Carew Hazlitt's book "The Livery Companies of the City of London". As we delve into this artwork, we are transported to a world where books were not only vessels for knowledge but also exquisite pieces of art themselves. The craftsmanship involved in printing such a work is evident through Wynkyn de Worde's name proudly displayed at the bottom. Through this print, we catch a glimpse into history - witnessing how religion intertwined with daily life and commerce within London's bustling cityscape. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and cultural heritage, reminding us that even centuries later, these creations continue to captivate our imagination.
