EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of William of Wykeham, an influential figure from the 14th century. The color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this historical personality, highlighting his significant contributions to both education and politics. William of Wykeham, born in 1325 and passing away in 1404, held several prestigious positions throughout his lifetime. Notably, he served as the Bishop of Winchester from 1367 onwards and also held the esteemed title of Lord Chancellor of England during two separate periods: 1367-1371 and 1389-1391. However, it is perhaps his role as a visionary founder that truly sets him apart. In an effort to promote learning and provide opportunities for future generations, William established New College at Oxford University in 1380. Just two years later, he went on to found Winchester College in 1382 - institutions that continue to thrive today. The image portrays William adorned with medieval regalia befitting his status - a crosier staff symbolizing his religious authority alongside a mitre representing his high-ranking position within the church hierarchy. His half-length pose exudes confidence and wisdom acquired through years spent navigating both ecclesiastical and political realms. Preserved within a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this photograph print serves as a testament to William's enduring legacy. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only the man himself but also the rich history surrounding him during one of England's most transformative
