EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Comic Early English History: Touching for the Kings Evil" takes us on a whimsical journey through time. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, this colour lithograph showcases a scene from early English history that is both amusing and historically significant. The image depicts a comical moment when individuals are seen touching the royal figure to cure themselves of the "Kings Evil" also known as scrofula. This peculiar practice was believed to have healing powers during medieval times, making it an intriguing subject for comic relief. Taken from the book "Comic Snap Shots from Early English History" by "Wil The Parkes" published around 1904, this artwork captures a lighthearted interpretation of pre-invasion England. With its humorous undertones and entertaining illustrations, it offers viewers a delightful glimpse into our past. The use of vivid colors and intricate details brings life to each character, enhancing their amusing expressions and gestures. This print not only entertains but also serves as an educational tool, shedding light on historical customs that may seem bizarre today. Owned by a private collector and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this unique piece combines elements of comics, history, humor, and royalty. It invites us to appreciate art's ability to transport us back in time while simultaneously bringing joy to our present-day lives.
