EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Seal of King William II of England, a significant artifact from the 11th century. The seal depicts a man on horseback, believed to be King William II himself, who was famously known as William Rufus due to his red-faced appearance. This striking image captures the essence of medieval royalty and offers a glimpse into the rich history of England. The seal is made of metal and beautifully crafted with intricate details that reflect the craftsmanship of its time. It symbolizes power, authority, and communication in an era where seals were used as official marks for important documents. Displayed against a backdrop representing the English countryside, this photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. It transports us back to an age when kings ruled with might and horses were their trusted companions on battlefields. Photographer CM Dixon has skillfully captured this historical treasure using metalpoint technique, enhancing its regal allure. The composition highlights both the grandeur of King William II's reign and his close bond with horses. As we admire this remarkable piece from our past, it reminds us that history is not just about dates or events but also about individuals like King William Rufus who left an indelible mark on their country.
