EDITORS COMMENTS
The Coronation of Harold King of the Anglo-Saxons, A. D. 1066, captured in this stunning print by W Ridgway, takes us back to a pivotal moment in British history. The artist skillfully recreates the grandeur and solemnity of the event that unfolded over nine centuries ago. In this sepia-toned image, we find ourselves inside a regal interior where an array of distinguished figures are gathered. The central focus is on Harold II, also known as Harold Godwinson, who stands tall and proud wearing his royal crown. Surrounding him are men of power and influence - bishops adorned in their ecclesiastical robes and nobles dressed in rich garments. The scene exudes religious symbolism as a bishop holds a cross above Harold's head while another presents him with a ceremonial axe symbolizing his role as defender of the realm. This fusion of Christianity and monarchy underscores the close relationship between religion and governance during this period. Thomas Archer's publication from 1878 brings to life Daniel Maclise's original artwork from decades earlier. Through meticulous engraving techniques, every detail is preserved for future generations to admire. This print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into English history during the eleventh century. It allows us to witness firsthand one of Britain's most significant royal events - the coronation of King Harold II - forever immortalized through W Ridgway's skilled handiwork.
