EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Fear of James I, King of England, for a sword at the knighting of Kenelm Digby" we are transported back to the year 1623. The image captures a momentous occasion - the knighting ceremony of Kenelm Digby, an event that was filled with both excitement and trepidation. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly James I, King of England himself. His regal presence is palpable as he stands tall and imposing, his eyes fixed on the ceremonial sword being presented before him. There is a sense of fear emanating from his expression, perhaps reflecting the weighty responsibility he holds in bestowing such an honor upon Digby. Surrounding James I are various figures dressed in elaborate attire befitting such an important occasion. Their faces reveal a mix of anticipation and reverence as they witness this significant moment unfold. The atmosphere seems charged with anticipation as everyone awaits James I's decision. The composition itself is masterfully captured by Quint Lox, who expertly frames the scene to highlight not only James I but also convey the grandeur and solemnity surrounding this historic event. The attention to detail is remarkable; every intricate design on their clothing can be discerned with clarity. This print from Liszt Collection serves as a powerful reminder of centuries past when ceremonies like these held great significance in shaping history. It allows us to glimpse into a world where power dynamics were played out through symbolic acts such as knighthood
