EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed figure of Saint Mathildis, also known as Saint Maud, a revered 10th century German Queen. Having received an exceptional education at the Erford monastery, she was widely recognized for her devoutness during her married life. However, upon the passing of her husband, she chose to relinquish worldly pursuits and dedicate herself wholeheartedly to acts of benevolence and spiritual contemplation. The image boldly emphasizes Saint Mathildis' regal stature through the depiction of a double-headed eagle device alongside symbols of power such as the triple staff and crossed orb. These emblems serve as a testament to her royal lineage and divine authority. Printed using a meticulous process from Alban Butlers' renowned publication "The Lives of The Fathers, Martyrs and Other Principles Saints" this artwork not only captures the essence of Saint Mathildis but also pays homage to her extraordinary life. Dating back to approximately 1928, this edition holds historical significance while offering glimpses into esoteric realms beyond our comprehension
