EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bakers of York A. D, 1595-96" takes us back in time to witness the artistry and craftsmanship of bakers from the 16th century. The engraving, captured by an unknown English School artist, offers a glimpse into the daily life scene of these skilled individuals. In this intimate interior setting, we see a group of male bakers fully immersed in their craft. With focused expressions on their faces, they are engaged in various stages of bread-making: kneading dough, shaping bread rolls, and carefully tending to an oven. The inscription on the table suggests that these dedicated artisans were members of a guild or trade association known as Bakers of York. The image not only showcases the technical aspects involved in baking but also provides insight into medieval food preparation and home economics. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on culinary skills during this era. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but appreciate the meticulousness and dedication required for such intricate work. This print is more than just a historical artifact; it allows us to connect with our ancestors' traditions and gain appreciation for their contributions to society's sustenance.
