EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Resurrection" from the Caxtons Golden Legend, a renowned page dating back to 1483. Housed in the esteemed Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, this piece of religious literature holds immense historical and educational significance. The image is featured in Sir Herbert Grierson's masterpiece, "The English Bible" published by Collins in 1947. In vibrant color and exquisite detail, this print transports viewers to the fifteenth century when William Caxton revolutionized printing with his manuscript creations. The resurrection scene depicted here beautifully captures a pivotal moment from the New Testament - an embodiment of Christian faith and belief. As we delve into this visual representation of biblical concepts, it serves as a reminder of how art has long been intertwined with religion and spirituality. This photograph invites contemplation on both the literary brilliance behind its creation and the profound impact it had on readers throughout history. Preserved for over five centuries, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural significance within Christianity. It stands as a testament to human creativity and devotion across time periods - bridging together two distinct eras: the fifteenth-century origins of the page itself and Grierson's twentieth-century interpretation. "The Resurrection" print offers an immersive experience that transcends mere aesthetics; it provides us with an opportunity to explore our shared heritage through artistry, literature, religion, and education.
