EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Joseph Strutt showcases the Anglo-Saxon ecclesiastical habits of the 8th century. The print features three individuals, each representing a different aspect of religious life during this time period. The first figure is a priest from the Old English Hexateuch, depicted in intricate detail and wearing traditional vestments. He holds a book, symbolizing his role as a spiritual leader and scholar. Next to him stands King David playing on a harp from the Cotton MS Vespasian Psalter A i. This image highlights the importance of music in worship and reflects the cultural influence on religious practices. Lastly, we see another priest holding both the host and ciborium from Cotton MS Cleopatra C viii. This portrayal emphasizes the significance of communion in Anglo-Saxon Christianity. Strutt's handcolored engraving beautifully captures these historical figures, bringing them to life with vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. The print is part of his larger work titled "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England" which provides valuable insights into various aspects of English society throughout history. With its rich symbolism and historical accuracy, this artwork serves as an invaluable resource for scholars studying Anglo-Saxon culture and religion. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era when faith played a central role in daily life, showcasing not only their attire but also their deep devotion to God.
