EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tobit, c 1470" takes us back in time to a world of medieval charm and domesticity. The image showcases an exquisite illustration from the British Museum's Royal Ms 15 D I, brought to life by Henry Shaw's skilled craftsmanship. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in a cozy chamber where a maidservant attends to her daily tasks. The focal point is the crackling fireplace with its wooden beams that cast warm light on the room. A hearth filled with crockery hints at the culinary activities taking place within this space. The maidservant appears engrossed in her work, perhaps preparing a delicious meal or tending to some baking endeavors. Her expertise as both cook and craftswoman is evident as she skillfully navigates between pots and pans while maintaining an air of grace. Meanwhile, Tobit himself rests peacefully nearby, his slumber undisturbed by the bustling activity around him. This juxtaposition highlights the harmony between labor and relaxation that characterized everyday life during this era. Through this stunning composition, we are transported into a world where gastronomy meets artistry; where cooking becomes an expression of creativity and craftsmanship intertwines seamlessly with daily routines. It is truly a testament to the rich cultural heritage preserved within these ancient manuscripts. With Bridgeman Images' meticulous attention to detail and preservation of historical artwork, this print allows us to appreciate not only Tobit's story but also the beauty found
