EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back in time to the year 1330, offering a rare glimpse into the daily lives of women milking ewes. Taken from an illustration found in the Luttrell Psalter, this image captures a scene that was once an integral part of rural life.

The serene expressions on their faces reveal a deep connection with nature and a profound understanding of their role as dairymaids.
