EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled ""Rise, rise, " said Gustavus Adolphus, King of Sweden;"It is your duty to fall on your knees to God, and not to so frail and feeble a mortal as I am" captures a powerful moment in history. Depicting the great king of Sweden from the 17th century, Gustavus Adolphus, it showcases his humility and devotion. In this scene, Gustavus Adolphus addresses his subjects with profound wisdom. He urges them to direct their reverence towards God rather than himself—a reminder of the transient nature of mortal power. The image beautifully portrays the king's self-awareness and deep faith. This historical artwork evokes a sense of awe as we witness an iconic figure humbling himself before divine authority. The black-and-white illustration adds depth and intensity to the composition while emphasizing its timeless significance. Through this engraving by English School in the 19th century, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in Swedish history. It serves as a testament to Gustavus Adolphus' leadership qualities—his ability to inspire loyalty through both strength and humility. Overall, this print invites contemplation on themes such as duty, devotion, mortality, and spirituality. It reminds us that true greatness lies not only in earthly achievements but also in recognizing our place within something greater than ourselves—the realm of divinity.
