EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a glimpse into the medieval world with its print of "From St Augustines Cite De Dieu, printed at Abbeville, 1486". The image takes us back to the 15th century when printing was still in its early stages and books were precious treasures. The illustration is part of a larger collection called Facsimiles from Early Printed Books in the British Museum, showcasing the historical significance of this particular piece. It depicts a scene from St Augustine's renowned work, City of God. The intricate details and fine engravings bring to life an intense combat between two figures, evoking a sense of drama and tension. Printed by an English school in the 19th century, this litho serves as both a testament to the artistry involved in early printing techniques and as an educational tool for those studying medieval history or literature. Its inclusion in textbooks would have allowed students to visualize scenes from important literary works like City of God. Now preserved within a private collection, this print offers us a window into the past—a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and book production. As we admire this facsimile today, it reminds us that every page holds not just words but also stories waiting to be discovered.
