EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Council of Constance in 1417, a significant event during the medieval period. The image depicts a Hawker of Pancakes and Pretzels, skillfully captured by an anonymous German artist from the 15th century. The hawker stands proudly behind his handcart, adorned with an assortment of delicious treats - pancakes and pretzels. His customers eagerly gather around him, drawn by the aroma wafting from his portable stove. With pen and ink on paper, this intricate drawing showcases not only the merchant's trade but also provides a glimpse into daily life during that era. As we observe this scene frozen in time, we can almost taste the warm pancakes and crunchy pretzels being prepared before our eyes. The hawker's expertise is evident as he deftly flips pancakes on his sizzling griddle while attending to eager customers who await their turn.
