EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Clog Almanac, Exchequer Tally and Saxon Reive Pole" takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an intriguing engraving by an English School artist. This piece, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the measurement and taxation systems of that era. Intricately detailed, the engraving features a table or calendar displaying the rising and setting of both the moon and sun. It also highlights various important information such as payee details, dates, festivals, and government-related data. The focal point is undoubtedly the Saxon Reive Pole - an instrument used for counting days or polling during tax assessments. This historical artifact provides valuable insights into Anglo-Saxon society's approach to measuring time and collecting taxes. Its significance lies in its ability to shed light on how governance was conducted during this period. Preserved out of copyright restrictions, this image from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to ponder upon our ancestors' methods of organizing their lives through meticulous record-keeping. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly mundane objects like clogs can hold great historical value when examined closely. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured in monochrome tones, let us appreciate its contribution towards understanding our past while acknowledging its artistic merit as well.
