EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated calendar print for June 1846, taken from Henry Noel Humphreys' "The Illuminated Calendar and Home Diary for 1846," showcases a richly detailed and vibrant scene from the medieval Book of Hours of the Duke the Anjou, dating back to 1380. The calendar features the figures of Saints Amos and St. James the Less, flanking the month of June. Above them, a quote from the Book of Philippians reads, "Rejoice in the Lord always: and again I say, Rejoice." The central image is filled with intricate details, including a crab, birds perched on foliage, and a lion, symbolizing the zodiac sign for Leo. The scene is further adorned with castles and other architectural structures, adding to the grandeur of the illustration. The print, which is a chromolithograph in colors and gilt, was produced using the lithographic printing process, a popular method during the 19th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print are a testament to the skill and artistry of the lithographer and the artisans who applied the gilt. The Latin inscriptions on the print, including the names of the saints and the quote from Colossians, add to the medieval and religious theme of the calendar. The illustration is a beautiful and intriguing glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the art and culture of the medieval period.
