EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous and comic engraving titled "William II takes possession of the royal trunk and secures the crown" we are transported back to 19th century England. The scene captures a lighthearted moment in history as William II, also known as William Rufus, playfully claims ownership of the royal trunk while ensuring his crown is securely placed atop his head. The illustration was created for Bill Nye's History of England, published by Lippincott in 1896. It showcases the artistic talents of W M Goodes and A M Richards, who bring a touch of whimsy to this historical event. Through their skillful use of detail and expression, they manage to infuse humor into an otherwise serious subject matter. As we delve into English history through this image, it becomes evident that even kings had moments of levity amidst their regal duties. With a mischievous grin on his face, William II demonstrates that being king doesn't always mean being solemn or stoic. This print not only offers us a glimpse into the past but also reminds us that laughter can be found in unexpected places. It serves as a delightful reminder that history is not just about dates and facts; it is also about human experiences and emotions – even those experienced by royalty. Through its clever combination of historical significance and comedic undertones, this engraving invites us to appreciate both the gravity and lightness inherent in our shared human story.
