EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical engraving titled "Folded napkins Li tre trattati messer Mattia" by Bavarian carver and steward, Mattia Giegher. Created in 1639, this plate is part of the treatise called "Trattato delle piegature" which was written during Giegher's service to the German nation at the University of Padua. The image depicts intricate instructions on tablecloth and napkin folding techniques. The linens are skillfully folded into various shapes including fans, ships, dragons, roses, rosmarine with the cross of Malta, fish, and even the Pope's crown. Each fold represents an art form in itself and exemplifies Giegher's mastery as a carver. This remarkable piece not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into the meticulous craftsmanship prevalent during that era. It highlights how even everyday objects like napkins were transformed into works of art through precise folding techniques. The Liszt Collection has preserved this exquisite engraving for admirers of both history and fine art. As you gaze upon this print, let your imagination wander back to a time when such attention to detail was valued in every aspect of life – from grand feasts to intimate gatherings.
