EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating title page of "The Dignity of Kingship Asserted" is a visual representation of the political climate during the 17th century. Published in 1660, this print holds immense historical significance as it coincided with Charles II's restoration to the throne. The author, identified only as G. S. , passionately defends monarchy against John Milton's advocacy for a free Commonwealth. This intriguing piece has been attributed to several individuals, including George Searle and George Starkey. However, most scholars believe it was created by Gilbert Sheldon, who became Bishop of London that same year. The ornate design and meticulous details on the title page reflect its importance in asserting the authority and grandeur associated with monarchical rule. With symbols such as crowns, scepters, and regal imagery adorning the print, it exudes an air of power and legitimacy. It serves not only as a proclamation but also as an embodiment of loyalty towards kingship. This artwork stands testament to the prevailing sentiment favoring monarchy at that time. Preserved within a private collection today, this rare artifact offers us a glimpse into early modern English politics and society. Its existence reminds us of how art can be used to convey political ideologies while simultaneously capturing historical moments for posterity.
