EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Carpenter and fisherman, 15th century" takes us back in time to the Transition Period between Henry VI and Edward IV. The image showcases the ordinary dress of working people during this era, providing a glimpse into their daily lives. In the foreground, we see a carpenter dressed in traditional medieval attire, wearing an apron and holding his tools. His focused expression suggests dedication to his craft as he works diligently on a wooden structure. Beside him stands a fisherman with a fishing net draped over his shoulder, indicating that these two individuals represent different professions within society. The composition is enhanced by the presence of geometric tools such as set squares and right angles scattered around them. This detail highlights the importance of precision in both carpentry and fishing practices during this period. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. Through Emily Jessie Ashdown's lens, we are transported to 15th-century England, immersing ourselves in the country's rich heritage. This print serves as a valuable visual document capturing not only specific occupations but also providing insights into fashion trends and social dynamics of that time. It is truly an invaluable piece for history enthusiasts seeking to understand life during the Middle Ages.
