EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts St Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, as portrayed in a 12th-century manuscript. The illustration is part of Joseph Strutt's book "Dress and Habits of the People of England" published in 1842. The image showcases the saint dressed in elaborate robes and wearing a distinctive mitre on his head, symbolizing his high ecclesiastical rank. St Dunstan (909-988) was an influential figure during the Middle Ages, known for his religious devotion and political influence. This print offers a glimpse into the fashion and attire prevalent during the 10th century in England. The contemporary hand colouring adds vibrancy to this historical representation. The engraving also highlights St Dunstan's halo, signifying his sanctity and divine connection. It serves as a reminder of his spiritual significance within Christianity. Although created by an English artist from the 19th century, this artwork provides valuable insight into medieval European culture beyond Britain's borders. Its inclusion in textbooks or educational materials would enhance students' understanding of Germanic influences on British history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through their Fine Art Finder collection. By showcasing this print, they contribute to our appreciation for art that bridges time periods and cultures while shedding light on significant figures like St Dunstan.
