EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph, we are transported back in time to the year 956 AD, witnessing a momentous event on the tranquil waters of the Dee River. The focal point of the image is Edgar the Peaceable, a revered English king known for his diplomatic skills and ability to unite various regions under his rule. As our eyes wander across the print, we see eight tributary princes rowing with utmost grace and precision, their oars slicing through the glistening river surface. Each prince represents a different region or kingdom that has pledged allegiance to King Edgar, symbolizing unity and loyalty among these diverse realms. The costumes worn by both Edgar and his princely companions are intricately detailed, showcasing opulence and regality. Their attire reflects not only their noble status but also serves as a visual reminder of England's rich history. This lithograph is part of Cassells History of England published in circa 1920 by Cassell and Company Limited. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but still resonating with significance today. Through this artwork, we can appreciate how power was consolidated through alliances during medieval times while marveling at Henry Marriott Paget's skillful engraving technique. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us reflect on Edgar's legacy as a peacemaker who navigated turbulent waters with diplomacy and wisdom – qualities that continue to inspire leaders even centuries later.
