EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment when a group of medieval pilgrims, led by the famous author Geoffrey Chaucer, depart from the Tabard Inn in Southwark, London, on their journey to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket in Canterbury. The scene is believed to have been depicted around 1387, as chronicled in Chaucer's seminal work, "The Canterbury Tales." In this print, we see a lively procession of pilgrims, each with their own unique attire and expressions, as they prepare to embark on their spiritual pilgrimage. The Tabard Inn, a popular stopping place for travelers, serves as the backdrop for this historic moment. Chaucer, dressed in the robes of a cleric, stands at the front of the group, gesturing towards the road ahead. The Tabard Inn, located in Southwark, was a significant site in medieval England, known for its role in hosting various literary and artistic circles. It is believed that Chaucer and his companions, who are said to have included a knight, a merchant, a miller, a reeve, and a prioress, among others, would have met here and begun their journey together. "The Canterbury Tales," which was published in several versions between 1387 and 1400, is a collection of stories told by these pilgrims as they travel to Canterbury. The tales, which include a diverse range of genres, from romance to fabliau, offer a rich and vivid portrait of medieval life and culture. This print, with its intricate details and lively composition, invites us to step back in time and experience the excitement and wonder of this historic moment, as the pilgrims leave the Tabard Inn and set off on their journey to Canterbury.
