EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "A Missionary from the Middle Ages Looking Over the Edge of the World" we are transported back in time to an era of exploration and wonder. Published in 1923 as part of the renowned book "Britain and Her Neighbours, 1485 - 1688" this archival image offers a glimpse into medieval beliefs and aspirations. The missionary, dressed in traditional garb, stands at the precipice with a mixture of trepidation and curiosity. Peering over what was believed to be the edge of the world, he gazes towards an expanse that holds both mystery and possibility. The heavens above him reveal a celestial tapestry adorned with sun, moon, and stars – symbols representing divine power. This illustration serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge during a time when scientific understanding was limited. It captures not only historical significance but also highlights our innate desire to explore beyond known boundaries. Preserved within these aged pages lies a testament to human imagination and resilience. As we admire this mesmerizing scene today, it invites us to reflect on how far we have come while acknowledging our relentless pursuit for discovery that continues to shape our world.
