EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "King in State Habit of the 13th century" takes us back to a regal era long ago. Created by Joseph Strutt in 1842, this handcoloured print showcases a bearded king adorned in ceremonial robes fit for royalty. The intricate details of his attire are truly remarkable - from the golden crown resting upon his head to the embroidered tunic and mantle that shimmer with opulence. The inspiration for this depiction comes from an illumination found in the Westminster Psalter, specifically King David playing on his harp. As we gaze at this image, we can almost hear the harmonious melodies resonating through time. Strutt's work is part of his larger collection called "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England". In this series, he meticulously captures various historical costumes and attires prevalent throughout different periods. This particular piece transports us to medieval England during the thirteenth century when kings ruled with grandeur and majesty. As we admire this enchanting engraving, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its ability to transport us back centuries into a world filled with splendor and elegance. It serves as a testament to our fascination with history and our desire to connect with past civilizations.
