EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a momentous historical artifact - the Iron Shield presented to Don John of Austria by Pope Pius V in recognition of his remarkable services to Christendom after the victorious Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The shield, beautifully illustrated in this mediaeval-style image, bears an inscription that resounds with profound meaning: "Christ has won the victory; it is He who reigns and governs". The photograph captures not only the intricate craftsmanship of the shield but also its symbolic significance. It represents a powerful alliance between military might and religious devotion during the Middle Ages. This unique fusion is further emphasized by Paul Lacroix's inclusion of this illustration in his book, "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" published around 1880. As we delve into history through this image, we are transported back to a time when faith played an integral role in shaping Europe's destiny. The shield becomes more than just a piece of armor; it becomes a testament to courage, valor, and unwavering belief. Ken Welsh's expert capture allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical importance encapsulated within this single object. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tumultuous times, there exists hope for triumph against adversity when guided by faith.
