EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a woodcut of the Knight from Geoffrey Chaucer's renowned literary masterpiece, "The Canterbury Tales". Printed in London around 1490 by Richard Pynson, this edition beautifully captures the essence of medieval English literature. The woodcut itself is a testament to the artistic skill and craftsmanship of the time. In this image, we see the distinguished Knight depicted with great detail and precision. Clad in armor, he exudes strength and nobility as he sits atop his majestic steed. His chivalrous demeanor is evident through his confident posture and stern expression. This portrayal perfectly encapsulates the character that Chaucer so vividly brought to life in his tales. "The Canterbury Tales" remains an enduring work of literature that offers readers a glimpse into medieval society through its diverse cast of characters and their engaging stories. It serves as both entertainment and social commentary, shedding light on various aspects of human nature. As we admire this remarkable woodcut print, we are transported back to a time when storytelling was cherished and knights were revered for their bravery and honor. It serves as a reminder of Chaucer's lasting legacy as one of England's greatest poets, while also celebrating the rich cultural heritage preserved within these pages.
