EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "He was the soul of hospitality" transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. Created by Anne Anderson, a talented Scottish artist from the early 20th century, this colour lithograph captures a moment filled with vibrant energy and rich storytelling. The image showcases an array of characters dressed in elaborate costumes, including merchants and pilgrims on horseback. The attention to detail is remarkable, as each character seems to come alive with their distinct personalities and expressions. In the center stands a figure believed to be Chaucer himself, portrayed as a poet immersed in his craft. The setting is reminiscent of medieval Canterbury, with its charming architecture serving as a backdrop for this lively scene. It evokes feelings of warmth and conviviality - truly capturing the essence of hospitality that Chaucer so eloquently wrote about. This particular artwork was published around 1915 by Thomas Nelson and Sons under their series called "The Gateway to Chaucer". It offers us a glimpse into both historical literature and artistic interpretation during that era. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are transported into an era where tales were shared over hearty meals and camaraderie thrived among travelers. It serves as a beautiful reminder of the power of storytelling and how it can unite people from different walks of life through shared experiences.
