EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, circa 1405, from Mary Evans Prints Online transports us back to the opulent French court during the reign of King Charles VI. The scene is set within the grand halls of the royal palace, where the esteemed Ladies of the French court have gathered to welcome the arrival of an extraordinary figure: Christine de Pisan, a renowned authoress. Christine, dressed in the elegant attire of the era, holds aloft her latest literary masterpiece, a tome bound in rich leather, its pages brimming with wisdom and insight. Her proud expression reveals the depth of her passion for her craft, as she prepares to present her work to the Queen. The ladies, clad in sumptuous gowns adorned with intricate embroidery and delicate lace, are visibly thrilled by the author's presence. Their faces reflect a mixture of admiration, excitement, and curiosity, as they eagerly anticipate the unveiling of the new book. Yet, amidst the joyous occasion, two canine companions, nestled at the feet of the ladies, seem to be yearning for a taste of the freedom that lies beyond the palace walls. Their eyes, filled with longing, gaze out towards the open doors, as if beckoning for a chance to frolic in the lush green parklands that stretch out before them. This enchanting snapshot of a moment in history offers a glimpse into the lives of the French court ladies, their reverence for literature, and the enduring bond between woman and her faithful canine companion.
