Bernard Veuillot mort le 1er Juin 1886 à Saint-Mary's college (Cantorbéry) 1887

This book, titled "Bernard Veuillot," was written by Gabriel Billot and published in Paris in 1887. It's a modest object, made from paper, ink, and thread. The material of paper, made from processed plant fibers, holds the printed words. Look closely, and you’ll see the texture of the paper itself. It bears the marks of handling, age, and library stamps. The ink, now faded, once sharply defined the text through industrial printing processes. Bound together with thread, these pages were made to be handled, read, and circulated. This book embodies the transition from handcrafted to mass-produced media. It reflects a shift in how information was disseminated and consumed in the late 19th century. Ultimately, this object is a reminder that even the most humble items carry social and cultural significance. By considering the materials, methods, and context of their creation, we can challenge traditional hierarchies between art, craft, and design.
