Created by John Saunders and published in 1889, these illustrations are based on the original artwork found in the Ellesmere Manuscript. The image transports us back to the 14th century, where a group of pilgrims embarks on a journey to Canterbury Cathedral in Kent. In this painted image, we see the Cook dressed in traditional medieval clothing, donning a robe and hat while holding various cooking equipment. His apron suggests his culinary expertise as he carries himself with an air of fame and importance. Mounted on a horse, he rides alongside his fellow travelers who eagerly await their turn to share stories during their pilgrimage. This hand-colored engraving beautifully captures the essence of Chaucer's storytelling masterpiece. It immerses us into English culture during ancient times when religion and spirituality played significant roles in society.
