EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing John, King of England, in 1870. Created by the talented artist Alonzo Chappel (1828-87), this engraving depicts John Lackland signing the Magna Carta. The Free Library of Philadelphia proudly houses this remarkable piece. John, also known as John Lackland, reigned as King of England from April 6th, 1199 until his death on October 19th, 1216. In this image, he is seated and surrounded by an air of reluctance as he signs the historic document that would shape English law for centuries to come. Published by Johnson Fry & Co. , this print showcases the power dynamics between monarchs and barons during medieval times. It symbolizes both the authority and limitations imposed upon kingship in Great Britain. The portrait exudes regality and highlights the importance of monarchy within British society. With its intricate details and masterful execution, it offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment when legal rights were established under royal rule. This engraving serves as a reminder of John's reign and his role in shaping English history through his involvement with Magna Carta at Runnymede. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to an era where kings held immense power but were still subject to laws that protected their subjects' rights.
