EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "King Athelstan of England: A 10th Century Monarch and His Symbols of Power" 2. Description: This evocative portrait captures the regal presence of King Athelstan of England (reigned 924-939), a pivotal figure in the early history of the English monarchy. The image, believed to have been created during or shortly after Athelstan's reign, showcases the king in profile, donning a grand, ornate crown adorned with precious stones and intricate designs. His piercing gaze and strong jawline convey a sense of determination and authority. 3. Historical Context: King Athelstan, also known as Athelstan the Glorious, was the first monarch to rule over a unified England, having successfully consolidated power from various regional kingdoms. His reign marked the beginning of the Old English or Anglo-Saxon period, which is considered a significant turning point in the country's history. 4. Symbolism: The cross held in King Athelstan's hand is a symbol of his Christian faith, which played a crucial role in his reign and the development of the English Church. The cig, or staff, signifies his royal authority and the power vested in him by the people. 5. Artistic Technique: The print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases the intricate details of the period's artistic style. The use of bold lines, rich colors, and meticulous detailing evoke the grandeur and majesty of the 10th century English monarchy. 6. Legacy: King Athelstan's reign is remembered for his military victories, political achievements, and his role in the spread of Christianity in England. His image, as depicted in this print, serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and the rich history of the English monarchy.
