EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Edward, Prince of Wales, Son of Henry III, bravely avenging his poisoning in Palestine by slaying the Saracen Assassin, c1787". This print depicts a dramatic scene from history as Edward, Prince of Wales and heir to the English throne during the reign of Henry III, valiantly confronts his would-be assassin. The artwork is based on an illustration found in George Frederick Raymond's comprehensive historical account titled "A New Universal and Impartial History of England" published around 1787. In this gripping portrayal, we witness Edward I raising his hand with determination and resolve as he strikes down the Saracen Assassin who had wounded him with a poisoned dagger. The black and white monochrome setting adds to the intensity and suspense surrounding this momentous event. The image not only captures a significant episode in British history but also reflects themes such as bravery, warfare, loyalty to country and family. It serves as a reminder of the dangers faced by royalty during medieval times when conflicts were rife. This remarkable print offers us a glimpse into the life of one of England's most prominent figures - Edward I - known for his military prowess and strong leadership qualities. Through this visual representation created by an unknown artist under J. Cooke's publishing house in London circa 1787, we are transported back to an era where power struggles shaped nations. As we admire this historic artifact today courtesy of The Print Collector/Heritage Images collection (not associated with any commercial use), let us appreciate its artistic value while acknowledging its contribution to our understanding of past events that have shaped our present world.
