EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The Shipman" a character from Geoffrey Chaucer's renowned literary work, "The Canterbury Tales". Set in the late 14th century, this collection of stories follows a group of pilgrims on their journey to Canterbury Cathedral. The image is based on illustrations found in the Ellesmere Manuscript and was published in John Saunders' edition of "Chaucers Canterbury Tales" in 1889. In this engraving, we see The Shipman portrayed with great detail and authenticity. Dressed in historical clothing, he stands tall with his hand raised as if gesturing or perhaps sharing an animated tale. His hat adds a touch of old-fashioned charm while his robe and sash reflect traditional culture during that period. Mounted atop his trusty horse, The Shipman embodies both strength and resilience as he embarks on this spiritual pilgrimage. With one hand holding onto the reins and the other raised high, he seems to be waving goodbye to fellow travelers or beckoning them to join him on this adventurous voyage. This artwork not only showcases British culture but also provides us with a glimpse into medieval life and spirituality. It serves as a reminder of our rich history and how storytelling has always been an integral part of human existence. As we admire this painting, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the tales woven by Chaucer's characters - tales that have stood the test of time and continue to captivate readers even today.
