EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating frontispiece of Filippo Morghen's Raccolta, 1768, transports us to a realm of imagination and wonder. This exquisite print showcases the artistic genius of Morghen as he brings to life the extraordinary observations made by Englishman John Wilkins during his mythical journey to the moon. Intricate borders adorned with delicate ornaments frame this enchanting scene. A majestic waterfall cascades down from a celestial landscape, symbolizing the ethereal nature of this lunar expedition. The text accompanying the image provides context and insight into Wilkins' fantastical experiences. At its center, we are greeted by an awe-inspiring sight - a space craft gracefully hovering above the lunar surface. An intrepid astronaut stands beside it, representing humanity's insatiable curiosity and thirst for exploration. Morghen's masterful use of engraving techniques adds depth and texture to every detail in this composition. The old-world charm is further enhanced by decorative cartouches that embellish key elements within the artwork. This remarkable print captures not only Morghen's exceptional skill but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our endless capacity for imagination. It invites us to ponder what lies beyond our earthly confines and encourages us to dream big in pursuit of knowledge about worlds unknown.
