EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Passport card Danish Isles part coast Sweden" takes us back in time to the 17th century. The intricately detailed engraving, created by Jan Luyken of Amsterdam, showcases a passport card from the Danish Isles. The card features an enchanting scene with two compass roses indicating that the North is above. In the bottom left corner, a beautifully designed cartouche displays the title and address of the publisher. Two hunters are depicted in action, accompanied by their loyal hunting dogs. One hunter attentively watches his comrade as they chase after a wild boar amidst a picturesque coastal landscape that includes parts of Sweden and Germany. On the right side of this remarkable artwork stands another hunter with three well-trained dogs on a scale. This section also provides measurements in German, Spanish, English or French miles – highlighting its international appeal. The inclusion of sailing ships and boats adds an element of adventure to this composition while subtly referencing nearby Faroe Islands. With its meticulous details and expert craftsmanship, this engraving transports viewers into an era where hunting was not only a sport but also an essential skill for survival. Preserved on paper for centuries, this historical masterpiece from 1681 offers us glimpses into both natural beauty and human pursuits during that time period. It serves as a testament to Jan Luyken's talent as an artist and captures our imagination with its rich storytelling ability.
