EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the tragic moment of the death of Gustavus Adolphus, the renowned King of Sweden from 1611 to 1632. Taken from H. G. Wells' influential book "The Outline of History" published in 1920, this historical image transports us back to the Battle of Lutzen in 1632. In this scene, amidst a chaotic battlefield filled with soldiers and horses, we witness Gustavus Adolphus on horseback, bravely leading his army into combat. Clad in regal armor and wielding weapons with determination, he embodies both power and bravery. However, tragedy strikes as we see him fall wounded from his horse. This pivotal moment marks not only the end of an exceptional monarch but also a significant turning point in history. The Lion of the North has met his untimely demise. The photogravure technique used for this print adds depth and texture to every detail captured by Ken Welsh's lens. It brings forth a sense of solemnity that befits such a monumental event. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it serves as a poignant reminder that even great rulers are not invincible against the ravages of war. Through its historical significance and artistic composition, this print invites us to reflect on the sacrifices made during times of conflict while honoring Gustavus Adolphus' enduring legacy as one of Sweden's most revered kings.
