EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Public Writer, 1790" takes us back to the 19th century in France. Created by Jean-Jacques de Boissieu, a renowned artist of his time, this etching captures the essence of a profession that was once an integral part of society. In this image, we see an outdoor scene with people going about their day in the background. The focus is on a public writer diligently carrying out his job. Known as a scrivener or scribe, these individuals were skilled in writing and would assist others who needed help with letters, legal documents, or any form of written communication. The setting evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era when handwritten correspondence held great importance. It reminds us of the simplicity and beauty found in everyday life during that time period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage art collection, this photograph represents not only French history but also pays homage to the dedicated professionals who played crucial roles within communities centuries ago. Jean-Jacques de Boissieu's work transports us back to an era where occupations like that of the public writer were highly respected and valued. This piece serves as both a historical document and an artistic tribute to those who contributed to society through their craft.
