EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of asparagus, created by the English School in the 19th century. The fine details and delicate lines beautifully capture the essence of this beloved vegetable. With its vibrant green hues and slender stalks, the asparagus appears almost lifelike, enticing viewers to reach out and touch it. The engraving was originally featured in "An Illustrated Vocabulary For The Use Of The Deaf And Dumb" published by SPCK in 1857. This educational resource aimed to provide a visual representation of various objects for those with hearing impairments. It is fascinating to see how art was utilized not only for aesthetic purposes but also for communication and inclusion during that era. The Victorian influence is evident in this piece, with its meticulous attention to detail and refined elegance. Asparagus holds a symbolic significance within Victorian culture, representing fertility and prosperity. Its presence on dining tables during this period signified opulence and sophistication. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured this historical artwork through their lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. This print serves as a window into both artistic techniques of the past and societal values associated with food during the 19th century.
