EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting St Augustine of Canterbury preaching before Ethelbert, the Anglo-Saxon King of Kent. Sent by Pope Gregory I with the mission to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity, Augustine stands tall and resolute as he delivers his sermon. The image showcases the power of faith and religion as it transcends boundaries and influences even those in positions of authority. Ethelbert, kneeling before St Augustine, symbolizes his openness to embrace this new faith. As the first Archbishop of Canterbury, Augustine played a pivotal role in establishing Christianity in England during the 6th century. His baptism of Ethelbert in 597 marked an important milestone for both individuals and laid the foundation for future religious practices. The wood engraving technique used adds a timeless quality to this piece, enhancing its historical significance. The surrounding nature serves as a reminder that spirituality is deeply rooted within our natural surroundings. This photograph not only highlights St Augustine's influential role but also emphasizes how religion can bridge gaps between different social classes and cultures. It reminds us that throughout history, powerful leaders have sought guidance from spiritual figures like St Augustine. In essence, this print beautifully encapsulates an extraordinary moment where two worlds collide - one representing royalty and power while the other embodies devotion and piety.
