EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Preface in the Desobligeant" by Maurice Leloir. The artwork, now part of a private collection, was created as an illustration for Laurence Sterne's renowned novella "A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy". Published in 1885 by Lippincott, this literary masterpiece takes readers on a whimsical adventure across Europe. In this particular scene, we are transported to the heart of Italy. The Desobligeant carriage serves as the backdrop for a writer engrossed in his craft. With pen in hand and surrounded by picturesque landscapes, he finds inspiration amidst his sentimental journey through France and Italy. The artist beautifully captures the essence of European travel during that era. The Italian flag proudly flutters nearby, symbolizing unity among nations within the European Union. This enchanting image not only celebrates English literature but also pays homage to Italian culture and its people. Maurice Leloir's meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout this engraving – from the intricate architecture to the vibrant colors that bring life to every element depicted. As viewers gaze upon this remarkable piece of art, they are transported back in time and invited to embark on their own sentimental journey through these enchanting lands.
