EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolithography print from the late 19th century, we are transported back to the 18th century, where a messenger is depicted carrying a sealed letter. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of this historical moment, showcasing both the beauty and significance of communication in that era. The messenger stands tall and proud, donning an exquisite costume that reflects the fashion trends of his time. His hat adds an air of elegance to his appearance while also protecting him from the elements as he embarks on his journey. With every step he takes, it is clear that he carries not just a physical letter but also a weighty responsibility. The vibrant colors used in this chromolithography bring life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on his attire to the delicate folds of paper within his grasp. It is evident that great care was taken by Stefano Bianchetti in creating this piece. This artwork serves as a reminder of how crucial messengers were in facilitating communication during earlier centuries when technology had yet to revolutionize our means of connection. It transports us back to an age where letters held immense power - conveying news, emotions, and even secrets across vast distances. As we admire this mesmerizing print today, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also reflect upon how far we have come in terms of communication methods.
