EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisitely hand-colored copperplate print depicts a Holy Communion ceremony in the 12th century, as beautifully rendered by Leopold Massard for the publication "French Costumes from King Clovis to Our Days." The scene unfolds in a grand, Gothic church setting, with a priest officiating at the altar, surrounded by an attentive congregation. The altarboy, dressed in a traditional tonsure, holds a paten and chalice, ready to distribute the Eucharist. The intricate details of the priest's vestments, the ornate architecture of the church, and the expressive faces of the congregation members all transport us back in time to this sacred moment in medieval history. The meticulous craftsmanship of the copperplate engraving and the vibrant hand-coloring further enhance the authenticity and beauty of this historical portrait. This print is a testament to the enduring significance of the Holy Communion ceremony in the Christian faith and offers a fascinating glimpse into the fashion and customs of the 12th century.
