EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Labours of War, Science, Commerce and Agriculture" takes us back to the 13th century, offering a glimpse into the diverse aspects of daily life during the Middle Ages. The image is based on a miniature found in a psalter from that era and was published in Les Arts au Moyen Age in 1873. In this scene, we witness an intriguing juxtaposition of various professions and activities. On one side, soldiers armed with swords engage in battle, representing the labours of war. Their intense clash symbolizes conflict and confrontation. On the other side, labourers diligently work on their farms using tools such as ploughs and threshers to cultivate crops and tend to cattle. The presence of clergy members amidst these scenes suggests that religion played a significant role in medieval society. They are depicted actively participating in agricultural tasks alongside farmers—a testament to their involvement within rural communities. This engraving beautifully captures the essence of medieval life by showcasing different spheres coexisting harmoniously or sometimes clashing against each other. It serves as a reminder that war, science, commerce, and agriculture were all integral parts of society during this period. As we admire this historical artwork from Ken Welsh's private collection today, it allows us to reflect upon how our modern world has evolved while appreciating the rich tapestry woven by those who came before us.
