EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph, titled "How King Arthur won Excalibur. A. D. 542" captures a whimsical moment in history with its clever blend of satire and visual storytelling. Created by the talented artist Arthur Moreland in 1905, this artwork is part of a series called Humors of History. The scene depicted here takes us back to ancient England, where King Arthur stands triumphantly before the legendary sword Excalibur. With a mischievous grin on his face, he appears to have outwitted his opponents through cunning wit rather than sheer strength. The cartoonish style adds an element of humor to the illustration, as exaggerated facial expressions and playful details bring the characters to life. The satirical nature of this piece becomes evident as it pokes fun at both English and German cultures simultaneously. Moreland's use of color enhances the vibrancy and energy within the image, making it visually captivating for viewers. The bold hues contribute to the overall lightheartedness conveyed by this artwork. As we delve into this amusing portrayal of history, we are reminded that even legendary figures like King Arthur had their moments of wit and humor amidst their heroic quests. This print serves as a delightful reminder that sometimes laughter can be just as powerful as any magical sword or noble deed.
