EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 14th century, showcasing a scene of bird-catching. Originally an illustration in Livres du Roy Modus, a medieval manuscript held at the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, this 19th-century version beautifully captures the essence of that era. The engraving depicts a concept of capture and concealment as two figures are seen hiding behind foliage, patiently waiting for their feathered prey. The monochrome image transports us to the Middle Ages, where nature played a significant role in daily life. A lush plant bush serves as both camouflage and trap for unsuspecting birds fluttering by. This artwork evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when people relied on their ingenuity and resourcefulness to secure sustenance. The print's intricate details showcase the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during this period. Every line etched into the paper tells a story of dedication and precision. As we gaze upon this piece, we can almost hear whispers from centuries past - tales of hunting expeditions and survival strategies passed down through generations. Through Paul Lacroix's Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance publication alongside Ferdinand Sere and A Rivaud's contributions, this exquisite print has been preserved for modern audiences to appreciate its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced world today, there is value in reconnecting with our roots and embracing nature's beauty around us.
