EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the frontispiece and title page to Bibliotheca Regia, or The Royal Library, created by Wenceslaus Hollar in 1659. Measuring at 15.6x10 cm, this etching and engraving captures the essence of Charles I, the King of England, Scotland, and Ireland during that time. The image features a majestic galleon sailing through stormy waters with its sails billowing against the wind. Symbolizing Britain's strength and resilience under Charles I's rule, this allegorical representation highlights his position as a powerful monarch. Seated on an ornate throne within the ship is Charles I himself. Dressed in ceremonial attire befitting his royal status, he exudes authority and leadership. With one hand firmly grasping the steering wheel while maintaining a dramatic pose, he embodies both control over his kingdom and determination to navigate through any challenges that may arise. Hollar's intricate engravings bring depth and detail to every aspect of this artwork - from the waves crashing against the ship's hull to each fold in Charles I's regal robes. This print serves as a testament to Hollar's skill as an artist and his ability to capture historical figures with precision. Displayed proudly in a private collection today, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into British history during one of its most significant periods. It reminds us of Charles I's reign as well as his enduring legacy as an influential leader who steered Britain through tumultuous times.
