EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a French passport, dating back to the 20th of September in 1854. Created with pen and ink on paper by an anonymous artist from the 19th century, this exquisite piece is now part of a private collection and has been preserved in eArchives Charmet. The passport itself serves as both proof of identity and an official document. Its historical significance lies not only in its age but also in its role as a means of identification during that era. This particular passport hails from Besancon, adding another layer of intrigue to its story. The intricate details captured through the artist's skillful drawing make this image truly remarkable. The delicate strokes bring life to the pages, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship involved in creating such documents at that time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back to a different era when passports were handcrafted pieces rather than digital records. It reminds us of our shared human history and how our methods for identification have evolved over time. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece from Fine Art Finder without commercial intentions or use mentioned here. Instead, they allow us to appreciate the artistry behind these historical artifacts while preserving their cultural value for generations to come.
