EDITORS COMMENTS
September in the illuminated calendar of 1846 showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed scene from the Book of Hours of the Duke the Anjou, created in 1380. This exquisite image combines religious and naturalistic elements, with figures of Micah and St. Matthew flanking the calendar grid. Above them, a quote from Timothy, the disciple, reads "I am a just man, unjustly sold." The central illustration features a woman weighing the souls of the deceased on scales, symbolizing the balance between good and evil deeds in the afterlife. Surrounding the scales, various birds take flight, including an African cuckoo, a hawk, a falcon, an aviceda, and a cuculoides. The naturalistic depiction of these birds, with their intricate plumage and lifelike poses, is a testament to the skill of the illuminator. The background of the calendar is adorned with foliage and castles, adding to the richness and complexity of the design. This chromolithograph in colors and gilt was produced by Henry Noel Humphreys for The Illuminated Calendar and Home Diary for 1846. The influence of naturalists such as William Jardine, Sir John Swainson, and Lizars is evident in the accurate and detailed representation of the birds. This illustration provides a glimpse into the ornithology of the time, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
