EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print depicts the revered Christian martyrs, St Crispin and St Crispinian. The Roman brothers embarked on a noble mission to spread the gospel in Soissons, France. To sustain themselves during their journey, they practiced the craft of shoemaking, which is beautifully portrayed through the tools adorning their horses' trappings and the door of their cart. St Crispin and St Crispinian hold a significant place in history as they became known as the patron saints of shoemakers and leathermakers. Every year on October 25th, their feast day is celebrated in honor of their unwavering faith and dedication. The wood engraving captures an aura of spirituality as these holy figures point towards an unseen destination while traveling with grace and purpose. Their horse-drawn vehicle symbolizes both practicality and mobility in spreading their message across different lands. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when religion played a central role in people's lives. It serves as a reminder that even amidst persecution under Emperor Diocletian's rule, faith prevailed against all odds. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print not only showcases religious devotion but also offers glimpses into daily life during the 19th century. It stands as a testament to the enduring power of belief and reminds us of those who sacrificed everything for what they held sacred.
