EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a facsimile of the Hours of Anne de Bretagne, a masterpiece created by Jean Bourdichon in the 15th century. The image depicts the month of November and the zodiac sign Sagittarius, with a focus on pig breeding. Intricately detailed and richly colored, this chromolithography chromo transports us back to the Middle Ages, offering a glimpse into agricultural practices during that time. The pig breeders are shown tending to their animals with care and expertise, highlighting the importance of livestock in sustaining communities. The inclusion of Sagittarius adds an astrological element to this scene. As one of the twelve signs of the zodiac, it symbolizes adventure, independence, and optimism.
