EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the illustration of Saint Oswald, taken from the renowned book "The Mighty Army" by Winifred M. Letts and published in 1912. Created using a vibrant colour litho technique by Stephen Reid, this artwork is now part of a private collection. Saint Oswald, also known as King Oswald of Northumbria (c. 604-642), stands at the center of this image, exuding strength and grace. He is depicted wearing his soldier's attire while holding a Christian cross with utmost reverence. The juxtaposition of his military regalia and religious symbol signifies both his dedication to God and his role as a ruler. The scene hints at an intense battlefield where soldiers surround Saint Oswald, emphasizing the challenges he faced during his reign. This illustration beautifully captures the moment when Saint Oswald experiences a profound religious conversion that would shape his future actions. The artist skillfully portrays Saint Oswald's noble character through intricate details such as the crown atop his head, symbolizing not only royalty but also divine authority bestowed upon him by God. This remarkable artwork invites viewers to delve into history and contemplate themes like faith, leadership, and personal transformation. It serves as a testament to Saint Oswald's enduring legacy as both a warrior king and saintly figure who left an indelible mark on Christianity in Britain.
