EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Edwy and Elgiva" takes us back in time to the 10th century, offering a glimpse into a tumultuous moment in English history. Engraved by Isaac Taylor and originally published in David Hume's "The History of England" in 1812, this illustration beautifully captures the essence of an extraordinary event. In this scene, we witness St. Dunstan forcefully separating Edwy from his beloved Elgiva during Edwy's consecration. The engraving portrays the struggle between love and duty as Edwy (Eadwig), King of England from 955-959, is torn away from his noblewoman lover. With its intricate details and skillful execution, the print transports us to a time when royalty was entangled with personal desires. The image showcases not only the power dynamics within royal relationships but also highlights the influence of religious figures like St. Dunstan on political affairs. The pointing bishop symbolizes authority while emphasizing the conflict between secular desires and spiritual obligations. This historical artwork serves as a reminder that even those who wear crowns are subject to human emotions and dilemmas. It invites us to reflect on how love can shape destinies, even for rulers who bear great responsibilities. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this print offers an intriguing window into British history – a testament to William Hamilton's talent as an engraver capturing significant moments for posterity.
