EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, a reproduction of a print by Frances Benjamin Johnston, transports us back in time to the enchanting world of medieval garden courtship as depicted in the 15th century literary masterpiece, "Roman de la Rose," by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun. The print, possibly from a tondo, showcases a romantic scene of a man and a woman, surrounded by lush greenery and beautiful flowers. The man, identified as Chopinel or Clopinel, plays the lute, a popular musical instrument of the Middle Ages, while the woman, with a dreamy expression, gazes at him. The print, which dates back to the 1910s or 1920s, is a testament to the enduring allure of medieval literature and the power of art to transport us to another time and place. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an American photographer and historian, captured this image as part of her extensive work documenting heritage art and architecture in the United States. The Library of Congress, which houses this print, is home to an extensive collection of lantern slides from the 1910s to the 1930s, including this reproduction of the "Roman de la Rose" print. This photograph invites us to reflect on the timeless themes of love, romance, and the beauty of nature, making it a cherished piece of both artistic and historical significance.
