EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print captures a pivotal moment in English history, depicting the assassination of King Edmund the First by Leolf the Robber during the Feast of St. Augustine at Puckle Church in Gloucestershire, circa 1787. The image is sourced from George Frederick Raymond's renowned publication, "A New, Universal and Impartial History of England" which meticulously chronicles historical events up until 1784. In this scene, set against an ornate interior backdrop adorned with books and artworks, we witness chaos unfolding as Leolf launches his audacious assault on the unsuspecting monarch. The black-and-white monochrome composition adds a sense of gravity to this tragic event that occurred in the 10th century. King Edmund I was a revered sovereign who ruled over Britain during a tumultuous period. His untimely demise at the hands of Leolf not only shocked the nation but also left an indelible mark on British history. This historic photograph offers viewers a glimpse into one of England's darkest chapters—a tale filled with intrigue, crime, and betrayal. It serves as a poignant reminder of how power struggles can shape nations and alter destinies. As we contemplate this somber image captured by The Print Collector29 for J. Cooke in London around 1787, let us remember King Edmund I's legacy and reflect upon the fragility of monarchy amidst political unrest—an enduring theme throughout British history.
