EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Anglo-Saxon monarch of the 8th century" takes us back in time to an era of regal grandeur and historical significance. Created by Joseph Strutt in 1844, this print showcases an Anglo-Saxon king from the 8th century seated on a magnificent throne. The monarch is depicted wearing a long blue surcoat over a tunic, exuding elegance and authority. Adorning his head is a majestic crown, symbolizing his royal status and power. In his hand, he holds a long sceptre, further emphasizing his role as ruler. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable. Every line and stroke brings out the intricate design of the king's attire and captures the essence of Anglo-Saxon fashion during that period. The hand-coloured elements add depth and vibrancy to the image. Taken from Old English Hexateuch, Cotton MS Claudius B iv. , this engraving offers us a glimpse into England's rich history. It serves as a testament to Strutt's dedication to documenting the dress and habits of people throughout different eras. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, we are transported back centuries ago when kings ruled with grace and dignity. This piece invites us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as it immortalizes an important figure from England's past.
