EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history, showcasing the resilience of knowledge and literature. In Langengunz (Hessen), during the year 1624, an extraordinary event unfolded as witnessed by Caspar Luyken and Pieter van der Aa. The image portrays the extraction of a book titled "Paradyshofken" from a blazing furnace, miraculously undamaged. The scene takes place in a cozy stove kitchen where flames engulf the burning furnace. Amidst this chaos, one can see the courageous act of rescuing knowledge from destruction. The book emerges unscathed, defying all odds and standing as a symbol of endurance against adversity. This photograph is not just about fire or books; it embodies the indomitable spirit of human intellect and our innate desire to preserve wisdom for future generations.
