EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Christophe Plantin, a renowned Flemish printer from the 16th century. The image is a line engraving created in the 19th century by Henri Goltziu, based on a contemporary engraving of Plantin himself. In this portrait, we see Plantin exuding an air of sophistication and authority. His fashion choices reflect the trends of the time, with his signature ruff collar adding elegance to his attire. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable – every strand of hair in his well-groomed beard and mustache can be discerned. Plantin's profession as a printer is subtly emphasized through the inclusion of various tools surrounding him. A compass lies nearby, symbolizing precision and accuracy - qualities essential for successful printing endeavors during that era. The fur draped over Plantin's shoulder adds an element of luxury to the composition while also hinting at his status as a prominent figure within society. Overall, this print offers us a glimpse into the world of Christophe Plantin: an influential man who played a vital role in shaping Flemish printing history. It serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation capturing one individual's contribution to the development of printing techniques during that period.
