EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic moment when King John Sans Terre, also known as King John without Land, signed "the Great Charter" or Magna Carta at Runnymede on 15 June 1215. The artwork, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, beautifully captures this significant event in English history. The Magna Carta was a groundbreaking document that established important principles such as individual rights, limitations on the monarchy's power, and the rule of law. This signature represents a pivotal moment where King John acknowledged these principles and granted certain liberties to his subjects. The engraving depicts King John seated at a table with religious figures surrounding him. It highlights not only his autograph but also emphasizes the influence of clergy and religious orders during this time period. The attention to detail in this medium age artwork transports viewers back to that crucial day in British history. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully preserved this historical scene through his photography skills while respecting copyright laws. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left by King John and how his actions shaped England's future political landscape.
