EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, "Medieval Deeds" meticulously crafted with ink on paper. Created by an anonymous English School artist, this artwork is housed in the prestigious Chethams Library located in Manchester, UK. The library's digital collection, eChethams Library, allows us to appreciate and explore this fascinating artifact. The image transports us back in time as we delve into the world of medieval legal documentation. These deeds are essential witnesses to transactions and agreements that shaped the course of history. Each manuscript tells a unique story about land ownership, raines (streams), and property rights. The intricate handwriting and carefully executed script demonstrate the meticulous attention paid to every detail during this era. The signatures serve as personal marks left behind by individuals who played significant roles in these historical events. Written primarily in Latin but containing some British text as well, these documents provide valuable insights into the legal practices of medieval England. They shed light on how properties were transferred from one owner to another through formalized processes involving witnesses and official seals. One particular deed featured here originates from Lancashire's Spotland area near Rochdale—a region rich with historical significance. This drawing offers a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the importance placed upon preserving our heritage for future generations. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this momentous artwork without commercial intentions—allowing art enthusiasts worldwide to admire its beauty and immerse themselves in centuries-old tales woven within its delicate pages.
