EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Constance on board a ship" takes us back to the late 19th century, where arts and crafts were flourishing. The illustration is based on Geoffrey Chaucer's renowned work, The Canterbury Tales, specifically from The Man of Laws Tale. In this scene, we see Constance, a woman of grace and beauty, standing aboard a majestic ship as it sails across the sea under the enchanting moonlight. Her regal presence suggests that she may be a princess or someone of noble birth. As she gazes into the distance with determination in her eyes, one can't help but wonder about her story and what adventures lie ahead. The artist skillfully captures both the medieval atmosphere and Germanic influences prevalent during that time period. With intricate details and delicate lines characteristic of Victorian-era printing techniques, this engraving showcases not only artistic mastery but also an appreciation for literature. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to another world - a world filled with imagination and exploration. It reminds us that even in the late 19th century when space travel was still far-fetched dreams; humans have always been fascinated by voyages and journeys beyond our earthly realm. This artwork serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and transport us to different eras while igniting our curiosity about history, literature, culture, and human aspirations for discovery.
