EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back in time to the bustling streets of London on November 14,1896. The image showcases a meticulously preserved receipt from the renowned John Lewis & Co. , a historic establishment that has stood the test of time. The delicate engravings on this piece evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding us of an era when handwritten documents were cherished and carefully stored away. The intricate details capture our attention, allowing us to appreciate the artistry involved in creating such a simple yet significant item. As we examine this snapshot from history, we can't help but imagine the countless stories hidden within its faded ink. Perhaps it was for a luxurious gown or an exquisite piece of furniture that adorned someone's home over a century ago. Or maybe it represented something more mundane - groceries or household essentials purchased by ordinary people going about their daily lives. Regardless of its purpose, this receipt serves as a tangible link between past and present, connecting us with those who came before us. It reminds us that even everyday objects hold value beyond their monetary worth; they carry fragments of personal histories waiting to be discovered. Through this print, Bridgeman Images invites us to explore not only the beauty found in fine art but also in seemingly ordinary artifacts like receipts – relics that tell tales long forgotten but forever imprinted on paper.
