EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, immersing us in the rich history of England. The image showcases a page from "The Canterbury Tales" printed by the renowned William Caxton in 1476. A true treasure from medieval times, this illustration captures the essence of Chaucer's timeless tales. Printed during an era when printing technology was still in its infancy, this page is a testament to Caxton's pioneering efforts as one of England's earliest printers. The intricate details and elegant typography on display highlight his skill and dedication to preserving literary works for generations to come. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported into a world where storytelling reigned supreme. Each carefully crafted word invites us to delve into the lives of pilgrims embarking on their journey towards Canterbury Cathedral. We can almost hear their voices echoing through time as they share their stories filled with humor, romance, and moral lessons. Published around 1890 by William Aubrey in London, this print serves as a bridge between two significant periods in English history - the Middle Ages and Victorian times. It reminds us of how literature has shaped our culture throughout centuries. Ken Welsh's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance behind this remarkable piece of art.
