EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, showcasing a historical artifact of immense significance. The image depicts an engraving titled "Dues on Wines, granted to the Chapter of Tournai by King Chilperic" which was inspired by a stained glass window found in the Cathedral of Tournai. The scene showcases a bustling inn where wine barrels are being collected and levied upon. This medieval depiction gives us a glimpse into the intricate taxation system that existed during those times. The collector can be seen meticulously recording each transaction, ensuring that every due is paid accordingly. The atmosphere within this image exudes both opulence and laboriousness. As patrons gather around the bar, they engage in lively conversations while enjoying their drinks. Meanwhile, merchants diligently fulfill their obligations by paying their dues to support the Chapter of Tournai. This photograph not only captures an exquisite piece of art but also serves as a reminder of how taxation has been an integral part of society throughout history. It invites us to reflect on our own modern-day tax systems and appreciate how they have evolved over time. Preserved within this private collection, this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into centuries past and marvel at the intricacies surrounding money matters in medieval times.
