EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Royal arms of King Edward VI, proudly displayed within the historic St Mary's Church in Westerham, Kent. Created by artist CM Dixon during the 20th century, this remarkable piece captures a significant moment in English history. St Mary's Church itself has stood since the 13th century, although it underwent substantial modifications during Victorian times. The wooden coat of arms depicted here features supporters in the form of a lion and dragon, symbolizing strength and power. Adorned with the Latin phrase "VIVAT REX CURAT LEX" meaning "Long live the King, custodian of the law" these royal arms exude regality and authority. The close-up shot allows us to appreciate every intricate detail carved into this mythical beast-inspired heraldry. Set against an outdoor backdrop on a sunny day, it serves as a reminder of England's rich heritage and religious traditions. As we delve into history through this image captured by CM Dixon (not affiliated with any company), we are transported back to both the 16th-century reign of King Edward VI and his influence on Christianity in England. This photograph is not only an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable historical artifact that celebrates royalty, mythology, and faith all at once.
