EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, hailing from the year 1845, showcases an illustration taken from the timeless collection of stories penned by the renowned English poet, Geoffrey Chaucer, titled 'The Canterbury Tales.' Specifically, this image is derived from 'The Nun's Priest's Tale,' a mock heroic story that presents a comical and moralizing narrative. The scene unfolds in the 14th century, as depicted by the medieval setting, and revolves around the characters of Chanticleer, a proud and self-assured rooster, and his wife, Pertelote, a wise and witty hen. The story unfolds as Chanticleer, in a moment of vanity, boasts about his ability to crow before the other farm animals. This act of flattery catches the attention of a cunning fox, who devises a plan to deceive Chanticleer and ultimately feast on him and his wife. The illustration masterfully captures the essence of the story, with Chanticleer perched atop a fence, his feathers puffed up in pride, while Pertelote, in the foreground, looks on with concern. The fox, in the background, lurks in the shadows, plotting his deception. The intricate details of the illustration, from the textures of the feathers to the intricacies of the clothing, transport us back to the early Victorian era and immerse us in the world of Chaucer's tales. The Nun's Priest's Tale serves as a reminder of the dangers of pride and the importance of humility, making it a timeless story that continues to resonate with audiences today. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a testament to the enduring power of Chaucer's narrative and the impact it has had on literature and storytelling throughout the ages.
