EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite ivory cover of a Book of Hours from the 11th century. Created by the talented artist Tamisier, this intricate piece is a true testament to the artistic mastery of medieval craftsmanship. The delicate carvings and elaborate decorations on the cover depict scenes inspired by Christianity, transporting viewers back in time to an era deeply rooted in religious devotion. The print itself is a reproduction from La France et les Francais a Travers les Siecles, Volume I, edited by F Roy and published in Saint-Antoine between 1882-1884. It serves as a valuable artifact that allows us to appreciate and study this remarkable work of art even today. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that France possesses. Its history intertwined with religion, literature, and art has left behind countless treasures like this one – each telling its own unique story. Through the lens of monochrome engraving techniques employed by Tamisier, every intricate detail comes alive on paper. This print transports us back to the Middle Ages when such books were cherished possessions for prayerful contemplation. Thanks to Heritage Images' dedication to preserving historical artifacts through their collection, we can now admire and reflect upon these masterpieces from centuries past without commercial intent but purely for educational purposes.
