EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating lithograph, titled "Lady crossing the street in the Middle Ages" takes us back to a bygone era. Created by Mary Eliza Haweis, this illustration was featured in her book "Chaucer for Children: A Golden Key". The image showcases a scene from Geoffrey Chaucer's famous work, "The Canterbury Tales". In this snapshot of medieval life, we see a well-dressed lady carefully navigating her way across a bustling street. Cobbled roads and quaint shops line the background as she gracefully steps over rubbish and dirt that litter the ground. Her fashionable shoes and elegant attire reflect the social status she holds. Accompanied by her husband, who walks beside her with their loyal dogs at his feet, this couple exudes an air of sophistication amidst their surroundings. The artist pays meticulous attention to detail - from the intricate architecture of buildings to the expressions on each character's face. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where hygiene is valued and cleanliness is sought after even amidst crowded streets. This artwork not only captures an ordinary moment but also serves as a testament to Chaucer's enduring influence on literature and society. Through its vivid colors and historical accuracy, this lithograph offers us a glimpse into medieval England while celebrating both artistry and storytelling.
