EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 18th century depicts an Anglo Saxon bishop and two monks, offering a glimpse into the religious life of the time. The bishop, aged 67, is adorned with a majestic mitre and carries an episcopal cross, both symbols of his high rank within the church. These particular items were commonly used in the 10th and 11th centuries. The two monks accompanying him, aged 66 and 68 respectively, are dressed in robes or cassocks that feature intricate decorations along the edges of their wide sleeves and tunic bottoms. Their attire reflects a distinct style prevalent during this era. Noteworthy details include the flat top of the Saxon mitre worn by the bishop, distinguishing it from later variations. This handcolored copperplate engraving was created by Austrian School artist Robert von Spalart for his historical depiction of costumes from antiquity to medieval times. The image offers valuable insights into Christian religious practices during this period in history. It serves as a reminder of how faith played a central role in society while showcasing distinctive clothing styles associated with clergy members. This print provides us with an opportunity to appreciate art's ability to preserve cultural heritage through visual representations like these engravings.
