EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1893, where we witness the art of making playing cards by old methods. The image showcases a skilled craftsman diligently working on a cylinder of playing cards through the intricate process of engraving. The scene is filled with an air of nostalgia as we observe the laborer's focused expression, his hands delicately maneuvering the instrument to create each card with precision. This snapshot into history reminds us of a time when printing was not automated but rather a meticulous craft that required human expertise. The composition exudes a sense of authenticity and craftsmanship, highlighting the importance placed on creating these essential tools for entertainment and leisure. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world dominated by technology, there is still value in traditional methods and handmade creations. This engraver's atelier becomes a symbol of dedication to one's craft, showcasing how games were once manufactured before mass production took over. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported back in time to appreciate both the beauty and significance behind this age-old tradition.
