EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite illuminated calendar print for May, from the year 1846, showcases a vibrant and intricately detailed scene drawn from the medieval Book of Hours of the Duke the Anjou, created around 1380. The calendar features various figures and symbols significant to the Christian faith. At the top, the month of May is denoted by the figures of Olee and St. Thomas, with the quote from Ephesians, "Benedicamus Domino omnes operatus in nobis in diebus nostris," which translates to "Let us bless the Lord, all His works, in our days." In the central panel, we find the disciples, including Amos, Jacobus Minor, and Phillipeles, gathered around a table, deep in conversation. The quote from Philippians, "Rejoice in the Lord always," is inscribed below. The bottom panel showcases various symbols, including St. James, a crab, birds, foliage, and castles. The crab represents the constellation Cancer, while the birds symbolize the arrival of spring and the renewal of life. The foliage and castles add to the overall beauty and richness of the design. This calendar print was produced using the chromolithograph process, which involves the transfer of an image from a stone or metal plate to paper using multiple colors and gilt. The result is a stunning, intricately detailed image that captures the essence of the original illuminated manuscript. This print was published in Longman, London, in 1846 as part of Henry Noel Humphreys' The Illuminated Calendar and Home Diary. The intricate details and rich colors make this a beautiful addition to any home or office, and a reminder of the intricate artistry of medieval illumination.
