EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling seaports of the Levant in the 15th century, as depicted in a miniature from Marco Polo's renowned manuscript of his travels. The image transports us to a time when trade was flourishing and ships filled with goods sailed across vast oceans. In this black and white sketch, we see businessmen dressed in medieval attire, their garments reflecting the fashion trends of that era. Their intricate clothing speaks volumes about their social status and wealth. These merchants were at the forefront of import and export activities, facilitating commerce between different regions. The illustration showcases an array of ships docked at the port, ready to transport valuable commodities such as spices, silk, and precious metals. This snapshot captures a moment in history when seaports served as vital hubs for international trade. The vertical composition adds depth to the scene while emphasizing the grandeur of these historical trading centers. The engravings bring life to this age-old narrative by showcasing detailed sketches that highlight every aspect of daily life during this period. Ken Welsh's expertise shines through in this remarkable piece which beautifully encapsulates not only a significant chapter in business history but also provides insight into medieval culture and dress codes prevalent during those times.
