EDITORS COMMENTS
The Winter King (engraving) captures a comical and historical moment in European history. Created by Arthur Moreland in 1917, this amusing print depicts Emperor Ferdinand I during the tumultuous period of the Huns. The illustration was originally featured in Moreland's book, The History of the Hun. In this entertaining scene, we see a humorous portrayal of Protestants and Catholics coexisting amidst political tensions. Set in Prague on 6 November 1620, during the reign of Frederick V as the 'Winter King, ' it showcases a clash between different religious and cultural groups. The image cleverly combines elements of Germanic culture with references to Catholicism and Protestantism. It highlights both the diversity and conflicts that shaped Europe at that time. Moreland's artwork not only entertains but also provides insight into historical events such as the Hungarian uprising against imperialists from Germany. Through its satirical lens, it offers a unique perspective on religion, politics, and power dynamics during this era. This digitally cleaned image from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate the intricate details of Moreland's engraving while preserving its original charm. Whether you are interested in history or simply enjoy comic art, 'The Winter King' is sure to captivate your imagination.
