EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, capturing a tender moment of motherhood. Created in 1849 by artist A Bisson, it is based on an original manuscript illustration from the Histoire de la Belle Helaine held at the Royal Library in Brussels. In this intimate scene, we find ourselves inside a cozy bedroom adorned with a crackling fireplace. The lady of the house lies comfortably on a bed while her trusted midwife attends to her needs. Surrounding them are other women, perhaps ladies-in-waiting or family members, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new-born child. The image beautifully portrays both the solemnity and joy that comes with childbirth. The room exudes warmth and tranquility as everyone anxiously anticipates the miracle about to unfold. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted our fascination with birth has been throughout history. Through this engraving, A Bisson skillfully captures not only an important historical moment but also highlights the significance of motherhood as a profession and occupation during that era. This monochrome masterpiece invites us to reflect upon our shared human experience across centuries and reminds us of our timeless connection to those who came before us. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance by Paul Lacroix, Ferdinand Sere, and A Rivaud, Volume III (Paris, 1849), we can't help but marvel at its ability to transport us through time into this sacred
