EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "HAY-MAKING IN JUNE, 14th C. Illumination from a late 14th century French psalter" takes us on a journey back in time to witness the laborious yet beautiful process of haymaking during the medieval era. The image is an illumination from a French psalter dating back to the 14th century, showcasing the intricate artistry and attention to detail prevalent in manuscript illuminations of that period. In this scene, we are transported to a sun-drenched summer day where workers diligently engage in various tasks related to haymaking. A farmer wearing a wide-brimmed hat stands tall amidst golden fields, skillfully wielding his scythe as he cuts down mature grasses ready for harvest. Nearby, another worker uses a wooden pitchfork to gather cut hay into neat piles while others can be seen threshing and separating grains from their stalks. The composition exudes both tranquility and industriousness as these workers come together harmoniously under the warm June sky. It serves as a testament to their dedication and hard work required for sustenance during those times. Through this remarkable piece of history captured through delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, we gain insight into the agricultural practices of our ancestors and appreciate their connection with nature's cycles. This print not only celebrates medieval craftsmanship but also invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with land cultivation and its significance throughout human history.
