14th Century Entertainment Fool Hobby Horse Psalter

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "FOOL ON HOBBY HORSE" takes us back to the late 14th century in England, offering a glimpse into daily life during medieval times. The illuminated initial D from an English psalter showcases a scene of entertainment and amusement. In the center of attention is a jester-like figure, known as a fool, energetically riding on a hobby horse. The image exudes an air of merriment and revelry as the fool playfully engages with his audience. The vibrant colors used in this illuminated artwork bring life to the scene, capturing our imagination and transporting us to another era. The presence of the hobby horse adds an element of whimsy and charm to this composition. This traditional toy made from wood or fabric mounted on sticks was often used by children for imaginative play but also found its place among adults' entertainment. As we contemplate this piece, we are reminded of how people sought joy and diversion even centuries ago. It serves as a testament to human nature's timeless desire for laughter and amusement amidst their everyday lives.
