EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the emblematic device of the Flemish Gueux or Beggars, a revolutionary party that emerged in 16th-century Dutch history. The image depicts a wallet held by two clasped hands, symbolizing unity and solidarity among the members of this influential movement. Etched with meticulous detail, the heraldic design serves as a powerful reminder of their fight for justice and freedom. Emblazoned across the wallet is the motto "Jusques A Porter La Besace" meaning "Until we carry our wallets". This rallying cry encapsulates their determination to persist until they achieve their goals. The device itself represents not only an essential accessory but also signifies economic independence and self-sufficiency. Originally published in Paul Lacroix's renowned book "Science And Literature In The Middle Ages" in London, 1878, this illustration transports us back to an era where medieval ideals clashed with societal norms. It offers a glimpse into the mediaeval world where symbols like these carried immense weight and conveyed messages that resonated deeply within communities. Ken Welsh's skillful capture ensures that every intricate detail is preserved, allowing viewers to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty. Whether you are drawn to heraldry or fascinated by Dutch history, this print provides an intriguing window into a transformative period marked by rebellion and resilience.
