EDITORS COMMENTS
The Exposure of Prince Edwin, (1810) captures a haunting moment in history. In the year 938 AD, amidst a web of conspiracy, Prince Edwin, brother of King Athelstan, faced an unimaginable punishment. Stripped of all means to navigate the treacherous waters that surrounded him, he was set adrift in a small boat with neither rudder nor sail. This evocative print by Milton transports us back to that fateful day when Edwin's fate hung in the balance. The monochromatic tones emphasize the gravity and solemnity of this historical event. We see Edwin standing tall on his vessel as it floats aimlessly upon the vast expanse of sea. The exposure endured by Prince Edwin symbolizes not only his punishment but also serves as a metaphor for vulnerability and isolation. As we gaze at this engraving, we cannot help but wonder about his thoughts and emotions during those final moments before he allegedly succumbed to the depths below. Milton's attention to detail brings forth every nuance - from the intricate design of the sailing ship to the determination etched onto Edwin's face. This image reminds us of both our shared human history and our capacity for resilience even in times of great adversity. "The Exposure of Prince Edwin" is more than just a print; it is an invitation to reflect upon power dynamics, justice, and sacrifice within society.
