EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Three Suns seen in London on the king's birthday, 1648" takes us back to a momentous event in history. The image depicts an extraordinary celestial phenomenon witnessed during the celebration of the king's birthday in London. The woodcut print, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, showcases three radiant suns shining brightly against a cloudy sky. This rare occurrence must have left spectators awestruck and filled with wonder. Originally featured as an illustration for Mason Jackson's book "The Pictorial Press its Origins and Progress" in 1885, this digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricacies of this historical artwork. During a time when newspapers and journalism were still emerging forms of communication, illustrated prints like these played a crucial role in conveying news events to the public. They served as visual representations that captured people's attention and sparked their curiosity. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving today, it serves as a reminder of how art can transport us through time and immerse us in significant moments from our past. It invites contemplation about the power of nature's wonders and how they can captivate humanity across centuries.
