EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print titled "The Hand-writing Upon The Wall" takes us back to the romantic and historic era of London in 1803. Created by renowned artist James Gillray, this engraving showcases a scene filled with symbolism and intrigue. In the foreground, we see Napoleon Bonaparte seated at a feast alongside Josephine, French soldiers, and women. However, their joyous atmosphere is shattered as they gaze up in horror at the hand of Jehovah pointing to words written in the sky. The words "Mene Mene, Tekel Upharsin" hang ominously above them. The backdrop features iconic landmarks such as the Bank of England, St. James's Palace, and the Tower of London. These elements add depth to this historical artwork while highlighting its connection to British culture. Gillray's illustrative technique beautifully captures every detail of this nostalgic scene. The aged appearance adds an authentic touch that transports viewers back in time. "The Hand-writing Upon The Wall" is not just an engraved image; it represents a significant moment in history when Napoleon's reign was met with divine intervention. This retro-styled piece serves as a reminder of our rich past and invites us to reflect on how historical events shape our present-day world
