EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable "Portrait of Basel Mayor Emanuel Socin" painted in 1707 by an unknown artist. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures a grand 217 x 138 cm and remains unmarked, leaving room for speculation about its origin and creator. In this dignified portrait, Mayor Emanuel Socin is depicted with utmost elegance and authority. His piercing gaze exudes confidence while his regal attire reflects his position as the esteemed mayor of Basel during that era. Placed upon a table before him are three documents, each bearing inscriptions that provide intriguing insights into the time period. The first document reads: "A Monsieur, Monsieur D [sic!] Ocin Mayor de la ville et Canton Basle. . ". This inscription confirms the subject's identity as Mayor Emanuel Socin himself. The second document appears to be titled "Supplications" signed by someone named JR H f. . . , possibly an important figure involved in local affairs at that time. Unfortunately, deciphering the third document proves challenging due to its faded text; hence it has not been transcribed accurately yet. Johann Rudolf Huber dä. , a renowned artist from Basel who lived between 1668-1748, may have created this exceptional piece considering his association with both portraiture and the city itself. This extraordinary print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic brilliance but also offers glimpses into history through these enigmatic inscriptions and their connection to prominent figures of Basel society during Mayor
