EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving titled "St. Honore" depicts a male figure, identified as the Bishop of Amiens, adorned in his traditional attire including a mitre and holding a crozier. St. Honore is widely recognized as the patron saint of bakers and bread, making this artwork particularly significant within culinary history. The artist from the 19th century French School has skillfully captured the essence of St. Honore's role by incorporating symbolic elements such as a baker's peel or shovel and an oven into the composition. These objects serve to emphasize his connection to baking and highlight his influence on this trade. Displayed against an intricate border, this portrait showcases not only St. Honore's religious significance but also pays homage to his impact on society through his association with food production and craftsmanship. Although little is known about St. Honore himself, it is believed that he lived around 600 AD before becoming a revered saint after his death. His legacy lives on through various cultural traditions associated with bread-making and baking practices worldwide. This stunning print can be found at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, where it resides within their esteemed collection of historical artworks. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to the enduring influence of saints like St. Honore throughout history.
