EDITORS COMMENTS
from "The Shepheards Calendar: Twelve Aeglogues Proportionable to the Twelve Months" by Edmund Spenser, illustrated by Walter Crane, 1898. This beautiful and intricately detailed print depicts the month of May from "The Shepheards Calendar," a series of twelve poetic pieces by Edmund Spenser, published in 1579. The illustration is a masterpiece by the renowned English artist, Walter Crane, created in 1898. The scene in this print captures the essence of the month of May, a time of renewal and growth in the natural world. The shepherds are shown in a lush, green meadow, surrounded by blooming flowers and trees. The central figure, a shepherd playing his pipes, is serenading his love, who is depicted as the personification of the month of May. She is shown as a beautiful, ethereal figure, adorned with flowers, and holding a cornucopia, symbolizing the abundance of the season. The background of the print is filled with various springtime activities, including shepherds tending to their flocks, children playing, and couples enjoying the warm weather. The overall effect is one of joy, beauty, and the promise of new beginnings. This print is a stunning example of the artistic collaboration between Spenser's poetic words and Crane's illustrative talents. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the natural world and the beauty of the changing seasons. The intricate details and vibrant colors make this a must-have for any art or literature lover, and a beautiful addition to any home or office.
