EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Hold, knave! I am the king of England" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a historical moment filled with power and authority. The image depicts a scene from one of the issues of The Weekly Welcome, a collection published between 1877 and 1882. In this dramatic illustration, we witness an intense confrontation as a regal figure clad in royal attire asserts his dominance. With a commanding gesture and stern expression on his face, he addresses someone off-camera with the words "Hold, knave! I am the king of England". His proclamation leaves no room for doubt about his position or willingness to defend it. The black and white aesthetic adds depth to this historic artwork while emphasizing its timeless quality. Through skilled engraving techniques, every intricate detail is brought to life - from the fine lines that define facial features to the delicate textures adorning their garments. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported into an era where kings ruled with unwavering confidence. This piece serves as both an artistic representation and a window into history - reminding us of the grandeur and significance associated with royalty during that period.
