EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Bailliage, or Tribunal of the Kings Bailiff" takes us back in time to the medieval era. The image is a reproduction of a wood engraving by Joos de Damhouder, originally published in Antwerp in 1557. The scene depicted showcases an interior setting where a hearing is taking place. The bailiffs, dressed in traditional attire, are seen presiding over the proceedings with utmost seriousness and authority. Their role as counsellors for the Duke of Burgundy is evident from their regal presence. The focus of this gathering appears to be taxation, as indicated by the presence of clerks meticulously examining documents related to taxes. This glimpse into medieval society offers insight into how taxes were administered during that period. The attention to detail captured in this lithograph allows us to appreciate not only the artistic skill involved but also provides historical context regarding governance and legal systems at that time. It serves as a reminder of how societies have evolved over centuries while still grappling with issues such as taxation. This particular print belongs to a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection and has been preserved for generations due to its significance. As it falls under Dutch School art from the 16th century, it holds immense value both artistically and historically.
