EDITORS COMMENTS
This colorful lithograph titled "Lese Majeste" captures the essence of humor and satire in a historical context. Created by Arthur Moreland, this artwork is part of a private collection and was originally published as an illustration for the book "Humors of History" in 1905. The image depicts Prince Hal, the future King Henry V of England, caught in a comical situation. As he lies fast asleep in his regal bed, wearing his crown with pride, he is awakened by a mischievous jester who pulls on his royal robe. The scene is filled with laughter-inducing details such as the exaggerated expressions on both characters' faces and the elaborate furnishings that surround them. With its satirical undertones, this cartoon-like drawing pokes fun at not only Prince Hal but also at German culture during that time period. It cleverly plays on the concept of "Lese Majeste" which refers to disrespect or insult towards royalty. Moreland's artistic style shines through in this piece with vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail. This print serves as a delightful reminder that even historical figures can be subjects of comedy and amusement. Bridgeman Images has preserved this humorous gem from history, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its ability to bring joy through visual storytelling.
