EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 18th century, titled "Necessaire in the Form of Two Books, Bilston, 1765/85". Created by an unknown artist, this exquisite necessaire is a true testament to the craftsmanship and creativity of its time. The necessaire takes on the shape of two books, cleverly disguised as literary treasures. Its vibrant polychrome enamel and gilding on copper with gilt bronze mounts add a touch of opulence and elegance to this unique artifact. The gold color shines brilliantly against the backdrop of nature depicted on its surface. Intricate details are meticulously crafted onto this metalwork masterpiece. Delicate trees, rocks, and plants create a serene countryside scene that transports viewers into another era. The bassetaille technique used in its creation further enhances the depth and dimensionality of this artwork. Hailing from Bilston in Wolverhampton, England, this necessaire represents British heritage art at its finest. It serves not only as a functional container but also as an embodiment of cultural history and artistic expression. Displayed within an esteemed art gallery like the Art Institute Chicago, it captivates visitors with its beauty and historical significance. Although created centuries ago by an unknown creator, this necessaire continues to inspire awe and admiration for both its design ingenuity and enduring appeal. As we gaze upon this print today, we can appreciate how it seamlessly blends literature with visual arts while reminding us of our rich artistic heritage
