EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut from an early 16th century English edition of The Shepheards Kalendar transports us to a rustic scene in the heart of Britain. In the dimly lit night, a diligent shepherd stands tall, his flock huddled close by for protection. Under his arm rests a musical instrument that speaks to the soul - bagpipes, filling the air with their enchanting melodies. To aid him in guarding his precious animals, two loyal dogs stand at attention beside him. Their spiked protective collars serve as a reminder of their fierce dedication and unwavering loyalty. However, even with these measures in place, danger lurks nearby. In the background, amidst the darkness, we catch sight of a cunning wolf stealthily carrying off one unfortunate lamb. This haunting image serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by shepherds who tirelessly strive to protect their livelihoods against nature's relentless predators. The woodcut not only captures this moment frozen in time but also offers us glimpses into Tudor-era England and its deep connection to agriculture and animal husbandry. Sheep were not merely sources of meat or clothing; they represented sustenance and prosperity through wool production. As we gaze upon this evocative print from centuries past, we are reminded of both the hardships endured by those who worked on these lands and their unyielding determination to safeguard what was theirs – be it through music or vigilant guardianship.
