EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Middle Ages, specifically to the heart of Old Wardour Castle in Wiltshire. The image showcases a bustling scene within the main kitchen, where heat and activity fill every corner. As we delve into this historical moment, it becomes evident that all the kitchen staff depicted here are men—a reflection of the scarcity of female domestic servants during that era. The intricate details captured by Philip Corke's skilled hand provide an authentic glimpse into medieval life. From flickering flames dancing beneath large cauldrons to wooden utensils hanging from sturdy beams, every element exudes a sense of authenticity and craftsmanship. It is as if one can almost hear the clattering pots and pans and smell the aroma of hearty meals being prepared. This reconstruction drawing not only serves as a visual feast for history enthusiasts but also sheds light on societal norms prevalent during this period. Women's roles were limited primarily to household tasks outside of professional kitchens—an intriguing aspect that adds depth to our understanding of medieval society. Philip Corke's meticulous attention to detail transports us back centuries ago, allowing us to appreciate both his artistic talent and his dedication to preserving historical accuracy. This print truly captures the essence of Old Wardour Castle's vibrant past while honoring those who labored tirelessly behind its grand walls.
