EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial moment in history. The image depicts Genghis Khan, the formidable Mongolian leader (1162-1227), as he prepares for war. Surrounding him are his trusted messengers and Priest John, who listen intently as they receive their orders from the great Khan himself. This mesmerizing scene is captured from "The Book of Wonders" by Marco Polo (1254-1324) and beautifully illuminated by the Master of Egerton between 1409 and 1412. The miniature artwork, found on folio 26 of Ms. 2810 at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, showcases intricate details that bring this historical event to life. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, it becomes evident that communication played a vital role in Genghis Khan's military strategy. The messengers stand ready to carry out their duty – delivering messages across vast distances to declare war or relay important information back to the palace. The atmosphere depicted in this image is one of anticipation and tension; it transports us into the heart of medieval Asia during an era when empires clashed and power shifted. Through Marco Polo's account and the artistic talent of the Master of Egerton, we gain insight into both the grandeur and complexity surrounding Genghis Khan's reign. This print serves as a visual reminder of how history can come alive through art – allowing us to connect with past events while appreciating the skillful craftsmanship behind each stroke.
