EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "An Arch Druid in his Judicial Habit, pre-Roman era" takes us back to ancient times, offering a glimpse into the rich and mysterious world of the Celts. Created by Charles Hamilton Smith in 1821, this handcoloured aquatint showcases the elaborate costume and regalia worn by an Arch Druid during this period. The Arch Druid stands tall, draped in a flowing white robe that symbolizes purity and wisdom. Around his waist is a girdle adorned with crystals of augury, indicating his ability to interpret omens. A breastplate of judgment (jodhain morain) rests on his chest, signifying his role as a judge within Celtic society. With great reverence, he wears a tiara upon his head and holds peithynin or omen sticks on an altar before him. These sacred objects were used for divination purposes and held significant importance in Celtic religious practices. Smith's meticulous attention to detail brings forth not only the attire but also the essence of this ancient culture. The engraving is part of Samuel Meyrick's "Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" providing valuable insight into traditional Celtic customs and beliefs. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported back through time to witness firsthand the rituals and traditions that shaped early British history. It serves as a reminder of our connection to our ancestors' spiritual practices while highlighting their unique cultural identity as they navigated life centuries before Roman influence took hold.
