EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 14th century, capturing a scene from Geoffrey Chaucer's renowned work, "The Canterbury Tales". The image depicts the departure of the Canterbury Pilgrims from London, as described by Chaucer in his literary masterpiece. Published around 1890 by William Aubrey in London, this illustration beautifully encapsulates the essence of English literature and history. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness a diverse group of pilgrims embarking on their spiritual journey towards Canterbury. Each character is meticulously portrayed with intricate details that bring them to life. From the noble knight to the humble plowman, they all stand together united by their shared purpose. The composition exudes a sense of anticipation and excitement as these individuals set off on their pilgrimage. The bustling streets of London serve as a backdrop for this momentous occasion, with horse-drawn carriages and curious onlookers adding depth to the scene. Ken Welsh's artistic touch adds an extra layer of authenticity and nostalgia to this already remarkable piece. Through his lens, we are transported back centuries ago when Chaucer's tales were first told. This print serves not only as a visual delight but also as a testament to the enduring power of literature and its ability to transcend time. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, "The Canterbury Tales" continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its timeless stories and vivid characters.
