EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "The Coke and Perkin (The Cooks Tale, Chaucers Canterbury Tales), late 18th century" takes us back to the enchanting world of Geoffrey Chaucer's literary masterpiece. Created in the late 18th century by Francis Chesham after John Hamilton Mortimer, this engraving beautifully captures a scene from "The Cook's Tale". In the doorway of an eighteenth-century British home stands a male figure, presumably an apprentice cook named Perkin. His arm movements suggest he is engaged in some form of dance or lively activity. Beside him stands another man, known as The Coke, who appears to be observing his companion with amusement. This artwork not only showcases the skillful artistry of Francis Chesham but also highlights the rich heritage and cultural significance of Chaucer's work during that era. It offers a glimpse into the daily lives and occupations of people in Britain at that time. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of how literature has always been intertwined with various forms of art throughout history. This print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by great writers like Geoffrey Chaucer and their ability to inspire artists across different mediums. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece invites viewers to step into a bygone era where storytelling was cherished and celebrated through both written word and visual representation.
