1952. SIC. 1 (1): 1-29.

[Dennis Piechota]

With global views now in contraction 

"Quelle courage!" for Studies' first action:

From London the journal unfurled.

Words not of English but French!

Said, "Colleagues of our wide world 

look up and out from your bench!"

One American two Belgians

our attention they seized

through depth and consilience

on Flamands Primitifs.

With Volume 1, Issue and Page 1

and this tour de force analysis

began a new era, new day one

and changed our publishing calculus.

To SIC editors for generations of readers 

thank you for being international leaders.
