EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Street crime, 1554" takes us back to the bustling streets of medieval Flanders. Created by Gerard de Jode and featured in Joost de Damhoudere's influential legal manual, this image offers a glimpse into daily life and the prevailing attitudes towards hygiene and waste disposal during that era. The scene depicts a chaotic street corner where various individuals engage in different activities. In the foreground, we witness a heated altercation between two men, highlighting the prevalence of street crime at the time. Surrounding them are discarded chamber pots, buckets filled with detritus, and other refuse scattered haphazardly on the ground. This woodcut serves as an important historical document showcasing not only behavioral norms but also environmental concerns of that period. The unsanitary conditions depicted here reflect a lack of understanding about disease transmission and proper waste management practices. Despite its grim subject matter, this print provides valuable insights into societal codes and behaviors prevalent in northern Europe for over a century. It reminds us how far we have come in terms of sanitation standards and highlights the importance of maintaining cleanliness for public health. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as an educational tool shedding light on past customs surrounding law enforcement, public behavior, and urban living conditions.
