EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating wood engraving titled "MAN READING, 1850. The Politician" transports us back to the mid-19th century, offering a glimpse into the daily life of a German statesman. Created by Johann Peter Hasenclever in 1850, this intricate print captures the essence of a moment frozen in time. In this scene, we see a middle-aged man engrossed in reading his newspaper while enjoying his pipe and beer. His spectacles rest on his nose as he delves into the news of the day. A candlestick illuminates his surroundings, casting warm light onto the room. By his side sits an attentive dog, ever-loyal and watchful. Hasenclever's attention to detail is evident throughout this artwork; from the folds of clothing to each stroke that brings life to every element within it. The composition exudes an air of tranquility and introspection as we witness this statesman finding solace amidst political responsibilities. This wood engraving not only showcases Hasenclever's artistic prowess but also provides us with a window into historical context - shedding light on how individuals sought respite during their busy lives centuries ago. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling political affairs, moments of quiet reflection were cherished. As part of The Granger Collection based in New York City, this print offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to own and appreciate an exquisite piece that encapsulates both history and artistry without mentioning any commercial use or affiliations with companies
