EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the medieval era, where we witness the hard work of ploughmen tilling the land with their trusty oxen. The image is a facsimile of a miniature found in an ancient Anglo-Saxon manuscript, beautifully reproduced by Shaw. In this scene, we see two men dressed in traditional medieval attire guiding their oxen as they pull the heavy plough through the earth. Their faces show determination and resilience, reflecting their commitment to providing sustenance for their community. The legend accompanying this illustration reads: "God Spede ye Plough, and send us Korne enow" reminding us of the importance of divine blessings for a bountiful harvest. The attention to detail in this engraving transports us into a world long gone but not forgotten. We can almost hear the rhythmic sound of hooves trudging through soil and feel the weight of history on our shoulders. This image serves as a reminder of how agriculture was once at the heart of society's survival during these times. It showcases both human ingenuity and reliance on nature's resources, highlighting our enduring connection with farming practices that have shaped civilizations throughout history. Bridgeman Images has captured yet another remarkable piece from its Fine Art Finder collection, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon humanity's humble beginnings while celebrating our progress over centuries past.
