EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Initial letter C, early 14th century" and created by Henry Shaw in 1843, transports us back to the Middle Ages. Inspired by a manuscript illustration from Gautier de Metz's poem Image du Monde, this artwork beautifully depicts the social structure of medieval England, France, and Germany. Within the intricate design of the initial letter C, we witness three distinct classes or castes that defined society during that era. The first figure represents the knight or soldier - adorned in armor and holding a shield and sword - symbolizing strength and valor on the battlefield. Next is the clerk or scholar; his scholarly attire signifies education and intellect as he holds an open book. Lastly, we see the husbandman or laborer dressed humbly with tools in hand representing hard work on farmlands. The vibrant colors used by Shaw bring life to this historical scene while showcasing different professions within society. This print serves as a reminder of how social class played a significant role in shaping people's lives during medieval times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from both centuries past (the fourteenth century) to more recent times (the nineteenth century), it is evident that Henry Shaw masterfully captured not only an illuminated manuscript but also our fascination with history itself.
