EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph, titled "Capture of Richard. A. D. 1193" captures a humorous moment in history with its colorful depiction of the events surrounding the capture of King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart. Created by Arthur Moreland in 1905 for the book "Humors of History" this satirical illustration offers a lighthearted take on an otherwise serious historical event. The scene portrays Richard's capture during his return from the Crusades by Leopold V, Duke of Austria. With exaggerated features and exaggerated expressions, Moreland's cartoonish style adds to the whimsy and entertainment value of this artwork. In this image, we see King Richard being apprehended by Austrian soldiers while he innocently tries to negotiate his way out of trouble. The caricatured figures add a touch of comedy to the scene as they interact with each other in amusing ways. Through its clever use of satire and visual humor, this print invites viewers to reflect on history through a comedic lens. It playfully pokes fun at both English and German cultures while shedding light on one significant event that shaped European history. Overall, "Capture of Richard" is not only visually captivating but also serves as a reminder that even historical moments can be seen through a humorous perspective.
