EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 14th century as we witness Geoffrey Chaucer himself depicted as a pilgrim on horseback. Known as the writer of "The Canterbury Tales". Chaucer's literary masterpiece comes alive in this image captured by John Saunders and published in 1889. Dressed in historical clothing befitting the Middle Ages, Chaucer stands out among a group of travelers embarking on their spiritual journey to the shrine of St. Thomas. The line art and watercolor painting beautifully capture his fame and storytelling prowess. As our eyes delve into every detail, we notice Chaucer pointing ahead, perhaps guiding his fellow pilgrims or emphasizing an important aspect of their pilgrimage. His traditional headdress and robe symbolize his deep connection to Christianity and spirituality during that period. This hand-colored engraving evokes a sense of nostalgia for English culture and history while providing us with a glimpse into medieval life. The horse beneath him serves not only as a mode of transport but also represents the ancient bond between humans and animals. With its rich symbolism, this artwork invites us to immerse ourselves in the world of "The Canterbury Tales" while reminding us of the enduring power literature holds over time. It is truly an ephemeral piece that captures both past and present readers alike, celebrating Chaucer's contribution to poetry and British culture.
