EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and significance of Becket's procession through France in 1158. Illustrated by Richard Caton Woodville II, this lithograph is a remarkable piece from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, dating back to approximately 1923. The image showcases Saint Thomas Becket, the renowned Archbishop of Canterbury during Henry II's reign. Accompanied by an entourage of 200 knights and servants, Becket leads a majestic procession that includes 250 choirboys. The scene is filled with vibrant colors as guards on horseback flank the archbishop while proudly carrying flags. Woodville skillfully portrays every detail in this historical moment; from the soldiers' armor to their horses' elegant movements. Interestingly, amidst all this splendor, there is even a mischievous monkey perched upon one soldier's shoulder. The Stapleton Collection houses this extraordinary artwork that has now become part of our private collection. Its depiction not only highlights the religious importance surrounding Becket but also showcases the opulence and power associated with medieval processions. As we gaze upon this engraving brought to life by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an event that shaped history. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture moments frozen in time and allows us to appreciate both its beauty and historical significance for generations to come.
