EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases an enigmatic depiction of William II, also known as William Rufus or William the Red, the second Norman king of England (1087-1100). The image is derived from an engraved portrait housed in the esteemed British Museum, London. The portrait was published in "The Portrait Book of Our Kings and Queens 1066-1911," edited by T. Leman Hare. William Rufus, born in the late 11th century, was the younger son of William the Conqueror. He ascended to the English throne following the death of his elder brother, Henry I, in 1100. This striking portrait captures the monarch's regal presence, with his crown resting atop his red-haired head, signifying his Norman heritage. The photograph print, published in the early 20th century by T.C. & E.C. Jack, London & Edinburgh, serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with the history and monarchy of England. The image invites us to ponder the life and legacy of this enigmatic king, whose reign was marked by significant events, including the establishment of the Assize of Clarendon and the construction of the White Tower of the Tower of London. The portrait's provenance from the British Museum adds to its historical significance, as the institution holds an extensive collection of art and artifacts that chronicle the rich history of Britain and its people. The photograph print, therefore, offers a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the stories and figures that have shaped the course of history.
