EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Dorigen and Aurelius, Chaucer's Franklin's Tale" transports us back to the enchanting world of Geoffrey Chaucer's medieval masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales. Created by Mary Eliza Haweis in 1877 for her book Chaucer for Children: A Golden Key, this illustration beautifully captures a pivotal moment from the story. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst the lush greenery of Aurelius' garden in France. Dorigen, a noblewoman torn between love and duty, stands gracefully before him. Her delicate features reflect both vulnerability and determination as she faces an impossible choice. Aurelius gazes at Dorigen with longing in his eyes, his expression filled with hope and desperation. His love for her is palpable; he would do anything to win her heart. Haweis skillfully brings these characters to life through vibrant colors and intricate details that evoke the essence of medieval artistry. Every brushstroke tells a tale of chivalry and courtly love. As we admire this exquisite print from our private collection, let us be reminded of Chaucer's enduring legacy as one of England's greatest literary treasures. Through his words and now immortalized by Haweis' artistic interpretation, we are transported into a world where passion clashes with honor—a timeless theme that continues to resonate with audiences across centuries.
