EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "June - mowing, 15th century" transports us back in time to witness the laborious yet essential task of wheat harvesting. Created by Robinet Testard in 1939, this image is a detailed depiction of peasants diligently working in the fields. As we observe, men are skillfully wielding scythes to cut the ears of wheat at their base while women stand nearby with forks, ready to gather and heap the harvested ears into piles. The scene captured here is actually a detail from a page found within the "Heures de Charles d'Angouleme" a book of hours commissioned by Charles of Orleans during the late 15th century. This particular miniature was predominantly painted by Robinet Testard and can now be found at the Bibliotheque nationale de France in Paris. Published in Verve magazine's eighth edition for Volume II, this photograph beautifully combines elements from both the 15th and 20th centuries. It offers us an insight into agricultural practices that have stood the test of time while highlighting historical figures such as Charles d'Angouleme. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this image not only serves as a visual representation but also evokes emotions associated with hard work, community collaboration, and rural life during medieval times. It reminds us of our connection to our ancestors who relied on agriculture for sustenance and survival.
