EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century print, titled "A Street with Shops and the Coat of Arms of Robert Stuart" offers a glimpse into the bustling daily life of medieval France. The scene, beautifully depicted on vellum by an anonymous French artist, showcases a vibrant street filled with various vendors and tradespeople. As we explore this enchanting illustration from Gilles de Rome's Livre de Gouvernement des Princes, we are transported to a time when commerce thrived in every corner. The shops lining the street include draperies, furriers, barbers, and grocers - each offering their unique wares to passersby. The attention to detail is remarkable; one can almost hear the chatter of customers haggling over prices or catch a whiff of freshly cut hair from the busy barber shop. In the center stands the coat of arms belonging to Robert Stuart, Marshall of d'Aubigny Lucrece - a symbol that represents his noble lineage and influence within society. Amidst all this activity stands an exquisite winged stag and a majestic unicorn - mythical creatures that add an air of whimsy to this lively market scene. This artwork not only serves as visual documentation but also provides valuable insights into medieval trade practices and daily routines. Preserved in Bibliotheque de l'Arsenal in Paris, France, this extraordinary manuscript transports us back in time while reminding us how deeply intertwined commerce has always been with our human experience.
