EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 15th-century "Book of hours of Anne of Brittany" by Jean Bourdichon. In this particular illustration, titled "October: ploughing and sowing, sign of the scorpion" we are transported back in time to witness an important agricultural activity during this autumn month. The image showcases a picturesque countryside landscape where farmers diligently plow their fields using traditional farming equipment. The sign of the scorpion, representing the zodiac for October, is prominently displayed in the background, reminding us of the astrological significance associated with this period. The attention to detail in this chromolithography chromo is truly remarkable. Every element - from the coupling mechanism between horses and plow to the carefully executed tillage process - reflects both the ingenuity and hard work involved in medieval agriculture. As we admire this piece, we can't help but appreciate how it offers a glimpse into an era long gone. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' reliance on farming for sustenance and survival. This image not only celebrates their dedication but also highlights their deep connection with nature's rhythms and cycles. Through Leonard de Selva's expert photography skills, we have been granted access to an exquisite historical artifact that continues to inspire awe even centuries later.
