Booklet of Landscape Prints 1739

Editor: This is the cover of a "Booklet of Landscape Prints," by François Vivares. It's just the aged cover, worn and marked... almost melancholic. What do you make of it? Curator: It reminds me of the hushed anticipation before a concert, doesn't it? This aged cover whispers stories of countless hands turning pages, each one a window into a world carefully crafted. It’s a portal, inviting us to imagine the landscapes held within. Perhaps Vivares intended the cover to evoke that sense of journey itself? Editor: A journey before the journey! I love that. It's a bit like finding a treasure map. Curator: Precisely! And maybe, just maybe, the real treasure lies in the patina of time itself. Editor: Makes you wonder about all the lost landscapes.
