EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Three Minstrels" takes us back to the enchanting world of medieval music and dance. Created in 1910 by Emily Jessie Ashdown, this representation is based on a manuscript from the Romance of the Rose, showcasing a larger scene known as the karole or dance of Sire Mirthe. In this scene, three minstrels come alive with their musical instruments. One man gracefully plucks at his harp strings while another expertly plays a flute. The third minstrel adds rhythm to the melody with his pipe and tabor drum. Their vibrant attire catches our attention - one wears a court-pie adorned with large dagged sleeves, while the other two don long cottes in multiple colors. Their small caps sit atop flowing locks of hair. Transported to a garden setting, these talented musicians bring joy through their harmonious tunes and rhythmic beats. As we admire their skillful performances, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that thrived during the 15th century. Emily Jessie Ashdown's meticulous illustration beautifully captures not only these minstrels but also highlights various elements such as clothing styles and hairstyles prevalent during that era. Through her artistry, she allows us to immerse ourselves in an age where music played an integral role in entertainment and storytelling. This remarkable print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and history lovers alike – offering glimpses into centuries past when melodies filled gardens like whispers from forgotten tales.
