EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning medieval miniature from the 13th century manuscript, MS Douce 231, housed in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. The artwork depicts two prominent figures of their time - St. George and Plantagenet Earl of Lancaster, c1295. In this intricately detailed illustration, we see St. George, dressed in vibrant blue attire adorned with a patterned tunic and shield bearing his iconic emblem. He stands alongside the noble figure of Thomas Plantagenet, the 2nd Earl of Lancaster, who exudes an air of authority and sophistication. The composition is enriched by a lush backdrop of nature's beauty - leaves and foliage gracefully intertwine to create a foliate frame around these historical characters. This delightful combination of artistry and heraldry transports us back to the Middle Ages when chivalry and religion were deeply intertwined. The photograph captures not only the artistic mastery but also offers us a glimpse into England's social history during that period. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage preserved within libraries like Bodleian. As we admire this remarkable print from Social England Volume II (1903), edited by H. D Traill and J. S Mann, it reminds us how art can bridge gaps between centuries while preserving our past for future generations to appreciate.
