EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Seasons" takes us back to the 11th century, showcasing a copy of a manuscript by Henry Shaw. The image depicts various agricultural occupations from July to December, providing a glimpse into the lives of peasants during this time. In July, we see farmers diligently mowing and making hay under the scorching summer sun. August brings forth the reaping season, where workers gather bountiful harvests with their sickles. September transitions to hunting as men chase after wild boars while birds soar above in search of prey. As autumn arrives in October, hawking becomes a popular activity among noblemen who train majestic hawks for falconry. November symbolizes warmth and comfort as people gather around fires to keep themselves cozy amidst the cold weather. December signifies hard work as farm laborers engage in threshing and winnowing activities using traditional tools like flails. Throughout this mesmerizing illustration, vibrant colors bring life to each scene, highlighting both the beauty and challenges faced by these medieval communities. "The Seasons" print not only showcases different agricultural tasks but also sheds light on poverty and peasant life during that era. It serves as a valuable historical document capturing important aspects of farming practices from centuries ago – an invaluable piece of art that allows us to appreciate our ancestors' resilience and dedication towards sustaining their livelihoods through all seasons.
