King Richard I in Palestine, c1884. This print by Thomas Strong Seccombe takes us back to the 12th century, immersing us in the historical and religious significance of King Richard I's role during the Third Crusade. As the eldest son of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard I was a formidable leader who led his army against Saladin, one of history's great Muslim leaders. In this comical yet insightful portrayal, we see King Richard I sitting inside a tent amidst the vibrant colors and intricate details that bring this scene to life. Dressed in regal attire with his characteristic lionheart symbol emblazoned on his chest, he exudes power and authority as he pulls up his colorful socks.

An attendant or servant stands nearby, ready to assist His Majesty at any moment. The presence of books suggests intellectual pursuits even amidst war-torn Palestine.
