EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the engraving titled "Caput Thomae" by an unknown English artist from the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and was featured in J R Green's renowned book, A Short History of the English People, published by Macmillan in 1892. This digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and historical significance of this piece. The engraving depicts "Caput Thomae" which refers to Thomas Becket, a prominent figure in English history. Becket was the Archbishop of Canterbury during the 12th century and became known for his conflict with King Henry II over church rights. Ultimately, he was martyred at Canterbury Cathedral. This artwork offers a glimpse into medieval England and its religious turmoil. It also highlights the influence of German culture on European history as it portrays Thomas Becket's connection to Germany through his name and various references throughout Europe. The image captures not only artistic beauty but also serves as a reminder of how art can provide valuable insights into our past. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in both English and European history - one that continues to resonate today.
