EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the awe-inspiring presence of the colossal statue of King Richard I, also known as Richard the Lionheart, located in the Old Palace Yard at Westminster, London. The statue, created by the renowned Italian sculptor, Baron Marochetti, was unveiled in January 1861. Richard I, who ruled England from 1189 to 1199, is celebrated for his military prowess and his crusades against the Muslim world. The statue, which stands at a height of 12 meters (39 feet), is an impressive testament to the historical significance of this monarch. The intricate details of the engraving show the statue's lifelike features, with the king depicted wearing a suit of armor and holding a sword in his right hand. The statue's imposing figure and the grandeur of its setting in the Old Palace Yard, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of Westminster, add to its historical importance and make it a must-see attraction for visitors to London." "The statue was imported from Italy and is a significant addition to the rich historical tapestry of Westminster. Its installation in 1861 marked a renewed interest in the history of the Plantagenet dynasty, to which Richard I belonged. The statue's intricate details and grandeur make it a popular subject for historians, artists, and tourists alike. This engraving provides a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when kings and queens ruled England and the world was a very different place." "The engraving, produced by ILN (Illustrated London News), is a valuable historical document that provides a detailed and accurate representation of the statue. It is a testament to the importance of historical preservation and the role that art and media play in bringing history to life for future generations.
