Astrological Astrology Calendar Cancer Crab Elizabethan Labouring Pastoral Staff Hay Stacks
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Month of June from Edmund Spenser's renowned work, The Shepheardes Calender. Published in 1579, this facsimile of the original woodcut takes us back to an era filled with pastoral beauty and agricultural significance. In this allegorical representation, we are transported to a picturesque countryside landscape where shepherds engage in their laborious tasks during the month of June. The image exudes a sense of tranquility as male workers tend to hay stacks under the warm summer sun. Notably, an astrological element is subtly woven into the scene through the presence of a crab symbolizing Cancer, which represents this zodiac sign associated with June. This clever inclusion adds depth and meaning to the composition. The print captures not only the essence of rural life but also pays homage to Elizabethan times when such calendars were highly valued for their practical guidance on farming activities throughout each month. With its meticulous attention to detail and rich historical context, this artwork transports viewers back in time while celebrating nature's bounty and hardworking individuals who shaped our agricultural heritage.
