EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a wood engraving on vellum of "Troilus and Criseyde" by Geoffrey Chaucer, created in 1927. The artwork was skillfully crafted by Eric Gill (1882-1940) and measures 30.8x18.5 cm. It is currently held in a private collection. Published by the esteemed Golden Cockerel Press, this edition is numbered 217 out of a limited run of 225 copies. The book's title pages feature stunning vignettes that add depth to Chaucer's classic tale. The illustration itself transports viewers to a gothic setting reminiscent of the 17th century, with its rich colors and intricate details resembling Japanese prints. In this scene, we witness Troilus and Criseyde surrounded by mythological figures as they embark on a stroll together. The image exudes heroism and virility through its depiction of Troilus as the guardian figure protecting his beloved Criseyde. This portrayal reflects traditional Asian mythology and paganism, adding an intriguing layer to the narrative. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this piece from Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate the artistry behind Gill's work while immersing ourselves in Chaucer's literary masterpiece.
