EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases William II, also known as Rufus, who reigned as the King of England from 1087 to 1100. Born in the eleventh century, he was the third son of William the Conqueror and played a significant role in shaping British history. The portrait captures his majesty with a direct gaze, exuding power and authority. The image is rich in color and detail, highlighting the regal crown adorning his head and a sceptre symbolizing his sovereignty. Painted during an era when mediaeval art flourished, this portrait reflects both Norman influence and French aesthetics. Produced by John Player & Sons in London in 1935 as part of their renowned series "Kings & Queens of England" this cigarette card serves as a historical artifact that beautifully encapsulates British heritage.
