The Pilgrimage of Perfection, 1531

EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Wynkyn de Worde, an influential printer and publisher in London during the 16th century. This image, taken from "English Printed Books" by Francis Meynell in 1946, transports us back to a time when the printing press was revolutionizing communication in England. In this thought-provoking scene, we see a male figure sitting at a lectern, engrossed in religious literature. The man's intense focus reflects his devotion to spiritual enlightenment and his commitment to embarking on a journey towards perfection. Surrounding him are various objects symbolizing knowledge and faith - books, writing materials, and even an assistant who assists him in his quest for understanding. The triangular composition adds depth to the image while emphasizing the significance of each element within it. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we can almost feel ourselves transported into the bustling streets of 16th-century England. Wynkyn de Worde's pioneering efforts as a printer played a crucial role in popularizing printed materials among English readers. His work laid the foundation for future generations of printers and publishers who would continue to shape literary culture throughout history. This print serves as both an homage to Wynkyn de Worde's contribution to society and as a reminder of how far we have come since those early days of printing technology. It stands as testament to our enduring human desire
