EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St George and St Michael" by Sydney Prior Hall, takes us back to a time of knights and castles. The print showcases the iconic figures of St George and St Michael in an intense conversation within the grandeur of a medieval castle. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to an era where lords held power and spoke with authority. The castle stands tall behind them, symbolizing strength and protection. It is evident that there is trouble brewing as both saints engage in a serious discussion. The image captures a moment filled with tension and urgency. Perhaps they are discussing the need to build or repair the castle's foundations, which requires significant amounts of money. The pressing matter at hand seems to be forcing their master into embarrassment due to financial constraints. In this scene, Herbert George MacDonald skillfully portrays the complexities faced by those responsible for maintaining such majestic dwellings. The necessity for proper housing becomes apparent as even legendary figures like St George and St Michael find themselves grappling with these challenges. Through this evocative engraving, Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into history while contemplating themes such as power dynamics, wealth disparities, and societal obligations. This artwork serves as a reminder that even mythical heroes face real-world struggles when it comes to accommodating their needs within society's ever-changing landscape.
