EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and symbolic device of Emperor Charles V during his reign as King of Spain in 1518. The emperor chose a powerful emblem, depicting a radiant sun rising above a zodiac, to represent his authority and influence. Accompanying this striking image is his motto, "Nondum In Auge" meaning "Not Yet at Its Zenith" which reflects Charles V's ambitious nature and determination to reach greater heights. The photograph captures every detail of this heraldic design, allowing viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such an emblem. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on symbolism during the Middle Ages, where visual representations held immense significance. Taken from Paul Lacroix's renowned book "Science And Literature In The Middle Ages" published in London in 1878, this print offers us a glimpse into history by preserving an important piece of medieval culture. Through its vivid illustration and meticulous detailing, it transports us back to an era when devices like these were used not only for decorative purposes but also as statements of power and identity. Ken Welsh's expert capture ensures that we can admire this historical artifact without any commercial connotations attached. Instead, we are invited to delve into the world of heraldry and explore the fascinating stories behind each element within Charles V's device – reminding us once again of how art can transcend time and continue inspiring generations centuries later.
