EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William Blake's engraving of "Chaucer's Canterbury Pilgrims" from 1810. The artwork is based on Blake's own fresco, which can be found in the Stirling Maxwell Collection at Pollock House in Glasgow. The image depicts a scene from Geoffrey Chaucer's famous literary work, "The Canterbury Tales" showcasing a diverse group of pilgrims embarking on their journey to Canterbury. Each character is intricately portrayed, representing various social classes and professions of medieval England. From the reeve and clerk to the oxenford and cook, every pilgrim has a unique story to tell. The composition beautifully captures the essence of this pilgrimage procession with horses leading the way. Blake's attention to detail brings these characters to life, allowing viewers to imagine themselves amidst this vibrant Middle Ages setting. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time, witnessing not only a physical journey but also an intellectual one as each pilgrim shares their tales along the way. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Chaucer's enduring legacy and his ability to capture human nature through storytelling. It reminds us that even centuries later, these timeless narratives continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
