EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Edmund, King of East Anglia, killed by the Danes, 20 November 869 AD" transports us back to a tumultuous period in British history. Created by James William Edmund Doyle in 1863 and now part of a private collection, this artwork is an exquisite representation of a significant event. The image depicts the tragic demise of King Edmund, also known as Edmund the Martyr. In his refusal to renounce his Christian faith, he met a brutal fate at the hands of Sea-king Ingvar and the Danes. The vibrant colors used in this lithograph bring life to this historical moment and evoke strong emotions within the viewer. The composition showcases not only human figures but also horses that play an integral role in medieval warfare. These majestic creatures symbolize power and strength while adding depth to the narrative depicted here. Through this artwork, we are reminded of Britain's rich history and its struggles with paganism versus Christianity during this era. It serves as a testament to King Edmund's unwavering devotion to his beliefs even in the face of violence. As we gaze upon this print from A Chronicle of England BC 55 to AD 1485 published in London over a century ago, we are transported back in time. This piece invites us to reflect on our own values and convictions while honoring those who have made great sacrifices for their faith throughout history.
