EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration of Saint Columba, taken from the renowned book "The Mighty Army" by Winifred M. Letts and published in 1912. The vibrant colors of this lithograph bring to life the remarkable story of Saint Columba, who was one of the Twelve Apostles of Ireland. Saint Columba, also known as Colmcille or Colum Cille, was an influential figure in Irish history during the 6th century. As depicted in this image, he is portrayed with a sense of wisdom and strength befitting his role as an abbot on Iona Island. Known for his missionary work and religious conversion efforts, Saint Columba played a crucial part in spreading Christianity throughout Scotland. Intriguingly, this illustration captures not only the saint himself but also includes a horse beside him. This addition adds depth to the scene and symbolizes both Saint Columba's connection with nature and his humble origins as a monk living close to livestock. The attention to detail exhibited by Stephen Reid, the artist behind this masterpiece, is truly commendable. Through his skilled handiwork, we are transported back in time to witness an important moment in history when faith met determination. This print serves as a testament to both artistic brilliance and historical significance—a true gem within any private collection fortunate enough to possess it.
