EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Country folk going to market, fishwives selling pike and an apprentice fetching water" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of 16th century England. The hand-colored copper engraving by Joris Hoefnagel beautifully captures a moment from everyday life during this era. In the foreground, we see a group of country folk making their way to the market. They are dressed in traditional Elizabethan attire, showcasing the distinct fashion of the working class at that time. Among them are fishwives skillfully selling freshly caught pike, their expertise evident as they engage with potential buyers. Meanwhile, an apprentice is depicted on his task of fetching water from a fountain nearby. This detail highlights not only the importance of water in daily life but also sheds light on the hierarchical structure prevalent during this period. The scene itself is based on Hoefnagel's earlier drawing of Nonsuch made in 1582 and reproduced in Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Braun & Hogenberg. It offers us a glimpse into social history and provides valuable insights into how people lived and worked during that time. With its exquisite details and vibrant colors, this hand-colored copper engraving truly brings history to life. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and allows us to appreciate the beauty found within everyday moments centuries ago.
