EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving from the second edition of Geoffrey Chaucer's renowned literary work, "Canterbury Tales" printed by William Caxton. The image, captured by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The engraving depicts a scene from one of the tales within Chaucer's masterpiece. It offers a glimpse into medieval England and its rich storytelling tradition. The intricate details and delicate lines showcase the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating this piece of art. This particular print was featured in Richard Garnett's book, "English Literature An Illustrated Record" published by William Heinemann in 1903. Thanks to digital restoration techniques, this image has been cleaned and preserved for future generations to appreciate. As we admire this artwork, we are reminded not only of Chaucer's significant contribution to English literature but also of Caxton's role as one of the first printers in England. This collaboration between writer and printer played a crucial role in making literature accessible to wider audiences during that time. Through this photo print, we can travel back in time and immerse ourselves in the world of Canterbury pilgrims while appreciating both artistic beauty and historical significance.
