EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print transports us back to the medieval era, depicting a dramatic scene from English history. In this vividly colored plate, we witness the legendary King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, engaged in a fierce battle with a formidable lion. The setting is an ominous dungeon where our valiant monarch finds himself imprisoned. The image evokes a sense of bravery and determination as King Richard fearlessly confronts his adversary. Despite being trapped within the confines of his prison cell, he refuses to succumb to despair or surrender his fighting spirit. This portrayal symbolizes not only his physical strength but also his indomitable willpower. Rendered with meticulous attention to detail by an unknown artist, this historical artwork captures the essence of medieval England. It offers us a glimpse into the turbulent times when kings ruled with authority and chivalry was held in high regard. Published by George Routledge & Sons in London and New York around 1850, this color plate is part of the renowned "Pictures of English History" collection. As we admire this remarkable piece today, it serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and reminds us that even in moments of adversity, courage can prevail against all odds.
