EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Dunstan dragging King Edwy from his Consort, Queen Ethelgiva on his Coronation Day" transports us back to a significant moment in English history. Created by Samuel Wale in the 18th century, this print captures the dramatic scene described in A New and Complete History of England by Temple Sydney. The image portrays Dunstan, a prominent figure during the reign of King Edwy, forcefully separating him from his beloved Queen Ethelgiva. The intensity of their expressions reveals the turmoil and conflict surrounding this eventful coronation day. This historical depiction offers a glimpse into the power struggles that often plagued medieval monarchies. As we delve into this artwork, we are reminded of Germany's connection to this story. Although set in England, Dunstan's actions were influenced by Germanic customs prevalent at that time. This serves as a reminder of how interconnected European history truly is. Through its intricate details and masterful execution, Wale's engraving allows us to immerse ourselves in both English and German culture simultaneously. It reminds us that art has no boundaries when it comes to capturing historical moments and preserving them for future generations.
