EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "The Page of Prester John" takes us back to the enchanting world of medieval legends and fables. Created by an unknown European artist in the 19th century, this artwork is a part of a private collection. The image depicts Prester John, also known as Presbyter Johannes, a mythical figure who was believed to be the ruler of a hidden Christian kingdom in the Orient during the 12th to 17th centuries. The illustration comes from Paul Lacroix's book "Military and Religious Life of the Middle Ages" published in London around 1880. In this scene, we see a young male page dressed in elaborate medieval attire. He wears an intricate headdress adorned with feathers and holds both a cross and sword symbolizing his devotion to Christianity and his readiness for battle. The attention to detail is remarkable, capturing every fold of fabric and ornate design flawlessly. "The Page of Prester John" transports us into an era filled with mystery and wonder. It serves as a reminder that myths have always played an essential role in shaping our understanding of history. This lithograph invites us to explore ancient tales while appreciating the artistic skill behind its creation.
