EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the 15th century, depicting the toll levied on markets by a cleric. Inspired by a painted window in the majestic cathedral of Tournay, this image offers us a glimpse into daily life during medieval times. The market square is bustling with activity as tradeswomen, clad in traditional attire, skillfully sell their produce to eager buyers. The atmosphere is filled with energy and anticipation as baskets overflow with fresh eggs, delectable pies, and an array of mouthwatering food items. The tradeswomen display their wares proudly while engaging in lively conversations with potential customers. It is evident that commerce was thriving during this era as people eagerly traded goods and services. The presence of the cleric reminds us of the taxes imposed on these transactions. His stern expression suggests his authority over collecting tolls from vendors for using market spaces. This visual representation serves as a reminder of how taxation has been an integral part of economic systems throughout history. Through this remarkable lithograph created by Paul Lacroix in 1847, we are transported back in time to witness not only the vibrant trade but also gain insight into everyday life during medieval times. This photograph print truly encapsulates the essence of historical markets and provides us with valuable insights into our past.
