EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Merchant" a character from Geoffrey Chaucer's renowned literary work, "The Canterbury Tales". The collection of stories was written in the late 14th century and is narrated by a group of pilgrims on their way to pay homage at Canterbury Cathedral. This particular series of illustrations is based on those found in the Ellesmere Manuscript and was published in 1889 by J. M. Dent & Co. In this image, we see the Merchant depicted in his historical attire, reflecting the fashion of the Middle Ages. He stands tall with an air of fame and importance as he rides his horse towards Canterbury Cathedral. The engraving beautifully captures his traditional clothing, complete with a tunic and hat that denote his retail occupation. As he journeys through picturesque Kent, England, the Merchant waves and gestures to fellow travelers along the way. His presence evokes a sense of medieval history and Christian pilgrimage as he embarks on this spiritual quest to honor St Thomas a Becket. This hand-colored illustration transports us back to ancient times when paper documents were treasured possessions. It serves as a reminder of English culture during that period while also highlighting Chaucer's enduring contribution to literature. Overall, this enchanting artwork invites us into the world of "The Canterbury Tales" and allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic beauty.
