EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the fascinating combination of the smallest book in the world and a minuscule millipede. The image, captured using a coloured scanning electron microscope (SEM), reveals intricate details of both subjects that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye. The featured book is an extraordinary creation by German typographer Josua Reichert, measuring a mere 2.4 by 2.9 millimetres in page area. This leather-bound volume consists of 24 pages displaying vivid illustrations depicting each letter of the alphabet. Manufactured in Leipzig, Germany, this rare piece was published as a limited edition by Die Gestalten Verlag from September 2001. Accompanied by a wooden carrying box and magnifying glass, this remarkable collector's item is priced at £69 ($110). Its cover exudes elegance with its hardback binding and serves as a testament to the marvels that can be achieved through advanced printing technology. In addition to showcasing this extraordinary literary creation, the SEM image also captures an arthropod wonder – a millipede from class Diplopoda. With its numerous legs and segmented body, this tiny creature adds another layer of intrigue to the photograph. This print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only exceptional craftsmanship but also nature's incredible diversity on both macroscopic and microscopic scales. It is truly an awe-inspiring fusion of artistry and science that will captivate any observer fortunate enough to lay eyes upon it.
