EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time, depicting "The Shoemaker and his Customer" in exquisite detail. Copied from one of the Misericordia Stalls in the Choir of Rouen Cathedral, this illustration is a testament to the craftsmanship of the 15th-century French School. The engraving showcases a scene filled with authenticity and charm. A skilled cobbler diligently works on fitting a pair of shoes for his customer, who eagerly tries them on. The intricate wood carving brings life to every aspect of this trade: from the tools scattered across the workbench to the carefully crafted shoes waiting to be worn. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where artisans dedicated their lives to their craft. It serves as a reminder that even in simpler times, there was beauty and artistry present in everyday professions. "The Shoemaker and his Customer" is just one example among 96 choir stalls that were meticulously carved under Philippot Viart's direction. Each stall represents a different profession from that period, providing us with valuable insights into medieval society. This remarkable piece not only celebrates the skillful hands behind its creation but also invites us to appreciate the rich history embedded within it. It stands as an enduring tribute to both artistry and human ingenuity throughout centuries past.
