EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from 1876, titled "Michaelmas Geese, the Last Meal" we are transported back in time to witness a poignant moment in history. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Michaelmas, a traditional Christian feast day celebrated on September 29th. The scene depicts a group of geese gathered together for what seems to be their final meal before being prepared for consumption. Their graceful forms and intricate feather details are meticulously engraved, showcasing the illustrative technique prevalent during the 19th century. This vintage print exudes an air of nostalgia with its retro-styled composition and evocative use of light and shadow. It serves as a window into a bygone era when engravings were highly valued as both works of art and historical documentation. As we delve deeper into this engraving, we can't help but appreciate its cultural significance. It reminds us of the rich traditions surrounding food and feasting throughout history while also highlighting the artistic prowess required to create such detailed engravements. "Michaelmas Geese, the Last Meal" is not just an image frozen in time; it is an invitation to explore our past through visual storytelling. This piece from Liszt Collection's Arkheia offers us a glimpse into centuries-old practices that continue to shape our present-day celebrations and culinary customs.
