EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Saint Augustine of Canterbury engages in a profound discussion with Aethelberht, the esteemed King of Kent, and his Queen, Bertha. The meeting depicted here proved to be transformative, leading to the conversion of the King to Christianity. The image showcases the power and influence that religion held during this period in England's rich past. It serves as a testament to Saint Augustine's persuasive abilities and highlights the openness of Aethelberht and Queen Bertha towards embracing new beliefs. Rendered beautifully through an engraving by Robert Bowyer for his renowned Historic Gallery publication between 1793 and 1806, this vintage illustration takes us back in time. Its archival nature adds depth and authenticity to our understanding of this pivotal event. As we gaze upon this remarkable picture, we are transported into an era where kings were swayed by spiritual leaders who possessed unwavering conviction. This encounter between two influential figures symbolizes not only religious conversion but also cultural transformation within Britain. Ken Welsh has masterfully captured this historical moment through his lens or brushstroke, preserving it for generations to come. As we reflect on this image today, let us appreciate its significance in shaping both English history and religious practices while honoring those who played instrumental roles in these monumental changes.
