EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 14th century, showcasing a formidable Sergeant at Arms. The artist, Edward May, skillfully captures the essence of this historical figure based on a 14th-century carving found at the Church of St Catherine du Val des Ecoliers. Dressed in an intricately detailed uniform, the sergeant stands tall and proud, embodying the spirit of war and duty. His full-length portrait exudes strength and authority as he holds his weapon firmly in hand. The monochrome effect adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. May's 19th-century interpretation pays homage to this valiant soldier from centuries past. Through his engraving technique, he brings forth every intricate detail of the sergeant's dress and weaponry with remarkable precision. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the bravery exhibited by soldiers throughout history who have dedicated their lives to protecting their people and lands. It serves as a powerful reminder that even though times may change, certain concepts such as honor and sacrifice remain constant. The print collector has preserved this extraordinary piece for our enjoyment today. Let us appreciate not only May's artistic talent but also the rich history encapsulated within this image - a testament to human resilience across time periods.
