EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the Prologue to Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales transports us back to the 14th century, immersing us in the world of knights and medieval literature. The focal point of this artwork is "The Knight" a gallant figure mounted on his majestic steed. Clad in shining armor and adorned with an elaborate caparison, he epitomizes chivalry and honor. The intricate details of this woodcut bring Chaucer's words to life, capturing the essence of his poetry. The knight's stoic expression reflects his noble character, while his sword and spurs symbolize bravery and readiness for battle. As we delve into this visual representation, we can almost hear the rhythmic trotting of hooves as he embarks on a timeless tale. Created by William Caxton for his second edition of Canterbury Tales in 1484, this woodcut exemplifies both artistic skill and historical significance. It serves as a testament to England's rich literary heritage during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, it reminds us not only of Chaucer's genius but also our own fascination with tales from centuries past. It invites us to explore the pages within its borders - stories filled with adventure, romance, and wisdom that have stood the test of time.
