EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing lithograph captures the essence of "The Summoner" one of the intriguing characters from Geoffrey Chaucer's timeless masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales. Created by Robert Ambrose Dudley in 1909, this print offers a window into the medieval world and brings to life the vivid descriptions penned by Chaucer. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are transported back in time to join a group of pilgrims embarking on their journey to Canterbury. The Summoner stands before us with his distinctive red face and fiery eyes, exuding an air of mystery and intrigue. Clad in his traditional attire, he carries a parchment scroll that symbolizes his role as an official summoning wrongdoers for ecclesiastical trials. Dudley's meticulous attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in the rich tapestry of English literature. Each stroke of his engraving skillfully portrays not only the physical appearance but also hints at the complex personality lurking beneath The Summoner's outward facade. This lithograph serves as a testament to Chaucer's enduring legacy and continues to captivate audiences today. It reminds us that even centuries later, these literary characters remain relevant and continue to resonate with our own human experiences. So let us marvel at this exquisite piece of artistry—a visual ode to both Chaucer's genius and Dudley's craftsmanship—and allow it to transport us
