1682 Chalk Jan Luyken Lime Manufacture Persia Print Numbered Top Right Mentioned
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to Persia in 1682, showcasing the fascinating process of lime manufacture. The image is numbered at the top right corner as "138" adding a sense of historical significance to this piece. Intriguingly, this particular print features a child or non-precious stone known as chalk, which was commonly used in lime production during that era. The renowned Dutch artist Jan Luyken is credited for capturing this momentous scene and his name is mentioned on the object itself. The bustling city of Amsterdam serves as the backdrop for this artwork's origin, further emphasizing its cultural and artistic value. Crafted on paper using etching techniques, it measures an impressive height of 171 mm with a width of 133 mm. It's important to note that while this print showcases the manufacturing process and materials involved in creating lime, it does not represent any specific company or commercial use. Instead, it offers viewers a glimpse into history and invites contemplation about how such essential substances were produced centuries ago. With its intricate details and historical context, this print transports us back in time to witness an age-old practice that shaped civilizations through its applications in construction and various other industries.
