EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th century print depicts the purported birth scene of St. Edmund, the legendary king of East Anglia. Contrary to the image, St. Edmund was actually born in Nurnberg, Germany, in 841. The print, however, reflects the common English domestic interior motifs of the 15th century. The room is filled with the warmth of a roaring fire, casting a cozy glow on the scene. The newborn king lies on a large, ornate bed, swaddled in soft linens. Two nurses, dressed in traditional 15th century attire, attend to the infant, their faces expressing a mix of awe and tenderness. The room is adorned with tapestries, posters, and intricate woodwork, reflecting the wealth and status of the royal family. Despite the inaccuracy of the location, this print offers a captivating glimpse into the domestic interiors of the English 15th century, complete with its attention to detail, use of natural materials, and focus on the importance of the hearth as a source of warmth and comfort.
