EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Ms Fr 2810 f. 31v, The Great Khan releases his eagle against a doe" transports us back in time to witness an extraordinary moment of ancient history. Painted by the talented Boucicaut Master and his workshop around 1410-12, this tempera on vellum artwork is part of the Livre des Merveilles du Monde collection held at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris. The scene depicted here showcases Kublai Khan (1214-94), the legendary Mongol ruler, engaging in a thrilling hunt with his majestic eagle and loyal falcon. As we gaze upon this stunning composition, we are transported to the vast landscapes of Asia where Marco Polo's travels come alive through vivid descriptions recorded within this manuscript. Intriguingly, this artwork not only captures the grandeur of royal hunting expeditions but also serves as a testament to cultural exchange and exploration during medieval times. It reminds us of the significant role played by Venetian merchants along the Silk Road trade routes that connected Europe with Asia. With its intricate details depicting windmills, rivers, wild animals such as deer and boars, and an enchanting wooded backdrop reminiscent of China's landscape; this print immerses us into a world filled with adventure and discovery. It stands as a remarkable testament to human curiosity and our eternal quest for knowledge about distant lands. As we admire "Ms Fr 2810 f. 31v" let it serve as a reminder that history is not just confined within pages but can be brought to life through artistry that transcends time itself.
