EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Effigy of Sir John Stanley, located in St. Peters Church, Elford, Staffordshire, England. Crafted from alabaster during the 15th century, this magnificent tomb serves as a testament to Sir John Stanley's legacy. The hand-coloured engraving by Edward M. Richardson beautifully captures the intricate details of this medieval sculpture. One cannot help but be drawn to the Stanley family crest carved next to Sir John's head—an eagle and baby—a symbol that commemorates an intriguing legend passed down through generations. According to folklore, an ancestor of the Stanleys discovered a helpless infant nestled within an eagle's nest. This enchanting tale has been immortalized in various pub signs across England, including The Eagle and Child in St Giles, Oxford—famous for being a gathering place for literary greats such as J. R. R Tolkien and C. S Lewis. Richardson meticulously documented these remarkable Elford monuments for his publication "Monumental Effigies and Tombs in Elford Church" released in 1852. His drawings provide us with invaluable insights into the craftsmanship and artistry prevalent during the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this stunning image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time—to an era where knights roamed gallantly and legends were born. It is a visual reminder of our rich history and serves as a tribute to those who have left their mark on our world through their enduring legacies.
