EDITORS COMMENTS
October's radiant hues of red and gold are beautifully captured in this enchanting illustration from Edmund Spenser's "The Shepheards Calendar: Twelve Aeglogues Proportionable to the Twelve Months," created by the renowned artist Walter Crane in 1898. The month of October is depicted with shepherds in a pastoral setting, surrounded by abundant harvest and the changing colors of autumn. Spenser's poetic work, published in 1579, was a collection of twelve eclogues, or pastoral poems, each representing a month of the year. Crane's illustrations, which accompanied the text in later editions, brought these verses to life with vivid and detailed images. In this illustration for October, Crane masterfully captures the essence of the season. The shepherds are shown in the foreground, dressed in traditional garb and tending to their flock, while the harvest is abundant in the background. The trees are adorned with leaves of brilliant reds, oranges, and yellows, and the sun casts a warm glow over the scene. The Shepheards Calendar was a popular work in the late 19th century and remains a cherished piece of literature and art today. Crane's illustrations, with their intricate details and rich colors, continue to inspire and delight viewers, transporting them to a simpler time and place.
