EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of history that holds immense significance for Liverpool. The image captures King John's charter from the year 1207, which was reprinted in 1910 by The Connoisseur magazine. This ancient parchment bears the written invitation extended by King John to immigrants, inviting them to move and settle in Liverpool. Considered as the very foundation for Liverpool's growth, this charter played a pivotal role in shaping the city's destiny. Its presence symbolizes an era of opportunity and progress, as it encouraged individuals from far and wide to make their home in this vibrant English port town. The script on this aged document is beautifully preserved, showcasing the intricate calligraphy of thirteenth-century England. Every stroke tells a story of hope and ambition, reflecting both King John's vision for his kingdom and the aspirations of those who answered his call.
