EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated calendar print for January 1846, taken from Henry Noel Humphreys' "The Illuminated Calendar and Home Diary," showcases a stunning fusion of medieval and Renaissance art. The illustration is derived from a 1380 manuscript belonging to the Duke of Anjou, now housed in the Bibliotheque Royale in Paris. The central figures of the calendar are the prophet Jeremias, depicted with a scroll and a crown of thorns, and Saint Peter, holding the keys to the heavens. Above them, a quote from Paul's Epistle to the Galatians reads, "But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, born under the law." Surrounding the central figures are various mythical creatures, musicians, and disciples. The month of January is represented by a boar and birds, with foliage and castles adorning the borders. The intricate details of the illustration are brought to life through chromolithography, a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a vivid and detailed image. The final touch is the application of gilt, or gold leaf, adding a luxurious and ornate quality to the print. This calendar print is a beautiful example of the rich artistic traditions of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and a testament to the enduring appeal of illuminated manuscripts. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print make it a captivating addition to any home or office, and a reminder of the beauty and artistry of the past.
