EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the lives of two shepherds from the 9th century. The image showcases their unique tools and attire, providing insight into their daily tasks and lifestyle. One shepherd is depicted carrying a large horn with a bouquin (mouthpiece), which he uses to assemble his flock. This instrument serves as an essential tool for communication and coordination in herding sheep across vast landscapes. The other shepherd carries a small hunting horn and pike, suggesting that he may also be responsible for protecting the flock from potential predators or intruders. Both shepherds are dressed in shorts tunics over trousers, reflecting practicality and functionality in their clothing choices. Their shoes further emphasize their readiness for long hours spent tending to their animals. Handcoloured by Leopold Massard, this copperplate engraving beautifully brings out the intricate details of these ancient costumes and instruments. It is part of "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days" published in Paris in 1834. Through this image, we are transported back centuries ago, gaining appreciation for the timeless role of shepherds throughout history. Their dedication to caring for livestock while navigating challenging terrains reminds us of the enduring connection between humans and nature's creatures.
