EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "William of Wykehams Crozier" is a stunning depiction of the crozier belonging to William of Wykeham. Published by Jonathan Carter on 1st July 1785, this print showcases the intricate details and geometrical design of this medieval artefact. The crozier, attributed to William of Wykeham (c. 1320-1404), was an important symbol for the Bishop of Winchester and Lord Chancellor. This elevation view captures its elegance and craftsmanship with precision. The octagonal castellated castle motif adorns the top finial, adding a touch of gothic metalwork charm to the overall design. The coil-like structure gracefully curves downwards towards a canopied niche where Saint Peter stands prominently. Every detail has been meticulously captured in this engraving - from the relief work on each niche to the delicate enamel embellishments that bring life to this ancient relic. Displayed against a plain background, it allows viewers to focus solely on appreciating the beauty and historical significance of William's crozier. Courtesy of the Warden and Scholars at New College, Oxford, this print offers us an opportunity to admire one small aspect of medieval artistry that has stood the test of time. It serves as a reminder not only of William's legacy but also as a testament to human creativity throughout history.
