Een prent met een fontein; voorts verschillende soorten van porselein; verder een oude Romein / mitsgaders een dorps-kastelein; en eindelijk nòg een fontein 1861 - 1929

This print was made by the monogrammist PB, and features a variety of objects, including fountains, porcelain, and human figures. It was made using wood engraving, a relief printing process where an image is carved into a block of wood, and then printed. Looking closely, you can see the fine lines and textures created by the engraving tool as it moves through the wood. This labor-intensive process allows for detailed imagery, and the texture of the wood itself adds a tactile quality to the print. The artist has also added color, likely by hand, to highlight certain areas and bring the image to life. Prints like this would have been relatively accessible, and served to disseminate images widely, contributing to a growing visual culture. The combination of technical skill and artistic vision makes this print a fascinating object, blurring the lines between art, craft, and commerce.
