EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the Hunterian Psalter, a remarkable manuscript dating back to the 12th century. In this particular image, titled "Ms Hunter 229 f. 6r Feeding acorns to the pigs" we are transported to November in an English farmstead. The focal point of the picture is a swineherd, wrapped in a slate-colored cloak adorned with red and white borders. With great care and precision, he uses a forked stick to knock down ripe acorns from a conventional tree. Three brown pigs eagerly await their feast as they gather around him. The attention to detail in this miniature painting is astounding. The delicate pen and ink strokes combined with tempera on vellum create an exquisite visual experience that transports us back in time. This artwork beautifully captures not only the agricultural practices of medieval England but also provides insight into daily life during that era. As part of the larger Hunterian Psalter, this image represents just one piece of an impressive collection that includes illuminated initials and gilt illustrations throughout its pages. It serves as both a religious text and prayer book for Christian liturgy. Preserved at Glasgow University Library in Scotland, this photograph print allows us to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship and artistic brilliance found within ancient manuscripts like the Hunterian Psalter.
