EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning standing mirror from the early 16th century. Created by Andrew Fingar Brophy in 1881, this etching beautifully captures the intricate details of a carved walnut table mirror with a metal mirror plate. The rectangular frame of the mirror is mounted on a four-sided pedestal, allowing it to rotate gracefully. Originally made in Italy during the Renaissance period, this exquisite artifact belonged to Jules Soulages, an esteemed lawyer from Toulouse. Over time, his remarkable collection was acquired piece by piece by the renowned Victoria & Albert Museum in London (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum). The print itself is taken from "The South Kensington Museum" a book filled with engraved illustrations and detailed descriptions of various artworks housed within the museum's vast collection. Published in 1881 by Sampson Low, Marston, Searle and Rivington, this book serves as both an educational resource and a visual delight for art enthusiasts. Brophy's skillful engraving brings out every decorative element of this Italian masterpiece - showcasing its craftsmanship and elegance. The wooden frame exudes timeless beauty while reflecting the artistic prowess of its creators. As we admire this photograph today, we are transported back through centuries to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its enduring charm that continues to captivate viewers worldwide.
