EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to medieval Paris, where the bustling trade of corn was overseen by skilled professionals known as Measurers. The intricate woodcut, originally published in 1528, showcases the rich history and craftsmanship associated with this ancient occupation. The Measurers of Corn are depicted in their distinctive attire, which reflects the fashion of the Middle Ages. Their garments exude a sense of authority and professionalism, emphasizing their role as guardians of commerce. With meticulous attention to detail, Ken Welsh's print captures every fold and texture of their clothing. In this vertical composition, we witness these dedicated workers engrossed in their craft. They meticulously measure sacks filled with golden grains against a backdrop that hints at the vibrant city life beyond. This illustration not only serves as a visual documentation but also provides insight into an essential aspect of Parisian society during that era. As we admire this historical artwork, it is impossible not to appreciate how much has changed over centuries while recognizing the timeless nature of certain professions. Through this print, we are transported to an age when trade thrived on human skill and dedication rather than modern technology. Ken Welsh's masterful interpretation breathes life into these long-forgotten figures from Paris' past – reminding us that even mundane tasks like measuring corn were once elevated to an art form worthy of admiration.
