Editor's Note:
The manifestation of a collector's appetite for discovering and mastering the world;represented by singular items of natural history, geology, art, orrelics&cabinets of curiosities and rarities became popular in the Renaissance and were precursors to the modern museum.Largely inspired by seventeenth-century scientist and antiquary Sir Thomas Browne, whose esoteric writings have long appealed to scholars, this rare new work is a bibliophile's delight. Erik Desmazières's contemporary etchings present a cabinet of rarities portraying a collection of the recondite, rare, and bizarre, complete with emblems of the vanity of earthly life and intimations of mortality. Death and decay are favorite subjects: a skull recalls depictionsof Sir Thomas Browne&amp's own, disinterred and displayed in a local museum until the 1920s. These abstruse objects and specters of death, subject matter once considered the preserve of specialists, have entered the cultural mainstreamand have found a broad popular audience.
