EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print depicts the momentous arrival of St Augustine in Kent, AD 597. The artwork, created by Paul Hardy in the 19th century, beautifully captures this historical event that marked a significant turning point for Christianity in Britain. In the image, we see St Augustine stepping off a boat onto the shores of Kent. Dressed in his distinctive robes and surrounded by a group of Benedictine monks, he exudes an air of solemnity and purpose. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene coastline with boats dotting the horizon. St Augustine's arrival brought with it not only religious significance but also cultural exchange between different regions of Europe. As one of the first Christian missionaries to England, his mission was to spread Christianity throughout Britain and establish Canterbury as its spiritual center. The print offers us a glimpse into this pivotal moment in British history. It reminds us of the enduring power and influence that religion has had on shaping societies across time and continents. Moreover, it serves as a testament to the resilience and adaptability of faith as it traverses borders and cultures. This particular lithograph is part of "The Story of the British People in Pictures" published by Odhams Press Ltd in London around 1936. Its inclusion within private collections speaks to its artistic merit and historical value.
