EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian calendar sheet for February transports us back to the 16th century, offering a glimpse into the opulent world of Anne de Bretagne. The intricate illustration, taken from the Book of Hours of Anne de Bretagne, showcases a lavish feast being served by diligent servants. In this vibrant lithograph print, we witness a sumptuous meal being presented to Anne and her guests. A plump chicken takes center stage on an ornate silver platter while a tantalizing pie sits nearby, tempting all who lay eyes upon it. The attention to detail is remarkable; every dish and utensil exudes elegance and refinement. Anne de Bretagne herself was no ordinary duchess; she married King Charles VIII of France and left an indelible mark on French history. This facsimile captures her regal presence as she presides over this extravagant dining experience. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but their talent shines through in every brushstroke. Through their work, they transport us to another time where feasts were grand affairs filled with indulgence and merriment. This stunning print serves as both a historical artifact and a visual delight for art enthusiasts worldwide. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire generations even centuries later.
