EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable work lamp from the 15th century, captured in exquisite detail through chromolithography. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this piece is now part of a private collection. The lamp itself serves as an educational tool, featured on a Chocolat Poulain card that offers insights into life during the Middle Ages. Intriguingly, this image sheds light not only on illumination but also on women's roles and activities during this era. It depicts a scene of needlework, with women diligently sewing under the warm glow of the lamp. This glimpse into their daily lives provides valuable historical context and invites us to appreciate their craftsmanship and dedication. Beyond its educational significance, there are subtle hints at indulgence within this artwork. The mention of Chocolat Poulain suggests a connection to sweet treats and perhaps even chocolate shops or candy stores that were prevalent during that time period. These references evoke images of food supply and sugary delights enjoyed by individuals centuries ago. Overall, this print transports us back to the late 15th century with its attention to detail and rich historical narrative. It captures both practicality and beauty in one frame – showcasing not just a functional work lamp but also shedding light on aspects of everyday life from centuries past.
