EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 13th-century print from Mary Evans Prints Online, we witness a lively scene unfolding on the bustling streets of Paris. The image transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of the French court during this era. At the heart of the scene is a distinguished bourgeois couple, elegantly dressed in the fashion of the day. The lady, with her flowing robes and intricately woven headdress, exudes an air of refinement and sophistication. Her husband, a man of means, is attired in a tunic and hose, accessorized with a fur-trimmed mantle and a sword at his side. Accompanying the couple is a manservant, who carries a large pack on his back, likely filled with their belongings. His livery, bearing the insignia of their family crest, attests to their wealth and status. Adding an extra layer of intrigue to the scene is the presence of a sergeant d'armes, a member of the king's personal bodyguard. He is depicted in full armor, his expression stern and alert as he scans the surroundings. The sergeant's presence underscores the heightened security measures in place to protect the French court and its esteemed members. In the background, the imposing silhouette of La Grande Chartreuse de Paris, a Carthusian monastery, looms over the scene. Founded in 1043, this historic monastery was renowned for its learning and spirituality, making it a fitting backdrop for this scene of 13th-century French life. This evocative print offers a captivating window into the past, allowing us to experience the sights, sounds, and fashion of the French court during the 13th century. It is a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
