EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated calendar print for March 1846, taken from Henry Noel Humphreys' "The Illuminated Calendar and Home Diary for 1846," showcases a stunning fusion of medieval and Victorian art. The illustration depicts the figures of Elias (Elijah) and St. James the Greater, flanking the month of March. Above them, a quote from the New Testament's Galatians reads, "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law." Surrounding the figures and quote are intricate scenes of the disciples, a lamb, and a castle. In one corner, St. John the Evangelist is depicted with an eagle, symbolizing his gospel. A bull, representing the zodiac sign for Taurus, is also present. The illustration is further adorned with lively birds and vibrant foliage, adding to the overall beauty and richness of the design. This print is a chromolithograph, a technique that involves using multiple lithographic stones, each coated with a different color, to create a multicolored image. The intricate details are further enhanced by the application of gilt, or gold leaf, adding a touch of luxury and elegance. The design is inspired by the illuminated manuscripts of the Middle Ages, specifically the "Book of Hours of the Duke the Anjou," which is now housed in the Bibliothèque Royale in Paris. The intricate illuminations in these manuscripts were created by skilled artists and scribes, using precious materials such as gold and pigments made from minerals and plants. This calendar print is a beautiful reminder of the rich artistic traditions of the past and the enduring appeal of the illuminated manuscript.
