EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness a historical moment as John de Mandeville bids farewell to King Edward III before embarking on his departure. The image, taken from the Merveilles du Monde series and illustrated by Paul Lacroix in 1878, transports us back to the Middle Ages and Renaissance era. John de Mandeville, an English courtier, writer, author, explorer, and servant of the king stands tall beside his majestic horse. As he prepares for his journey into uncharted territories, he is seen surrounded by the grandeur of a medieval turret or tower. The scene exudes a sense of anticipation and adventure. The illuminated manuscript style adds an air of mystique to this historic moment. It reminds us that during these times travel was not just about exploration but also about discovery - both external and internal. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving captured by the French School in the 15th century (after), we are transported into a world where courage meets curiosity. We can almost feel the excitement pulsating through John de Mandeville's veins as he sets off on his travels. This print serves as a reminder of humanity's innate desire to explore beyond known boundaries. It invites us to reflect on our own journeys - physical or metaphorical - and encourages us to embrace new experiences with open hearts and minds.
