EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal figure of King Edgar I, also known as "the Peaceful" from Cotton MS. Engraved by an English School artist in the 19th century, this piece is now part of a private collection within The Stapleton Collection. King Edgar I reigned over England from 943 to 975 and was renowned for his ability to maintain peace throughout his kingdom. In this engraving, we see King Edgar seated on an ornate throne, exuding authority and power. Dressed in royal attire with a magnificent crown adorning his head, he holds a feathered scroll symbolizing wisdom and knowledge. The full-length portrait captures the essence of royalty and highlights the importance of manuscript art during that era. The image not only reflects the grandeur associated with British monarchs but also provides insight into Anglo-Saxon history. It serves as a reminder of England's rich heritage and its influential rulers who shaped the nation's destiny. With meticulous attention to detail, this engraving beautifully preserves King Edgar's legacy for generations to come. Its historical significance makes it an invaluable piece for those fascinated by medieval times or anyone seeking a glimpse into Britain's past.
