EDITORS COMMENTS
The vibrant lithograph titled "Bad News for Egbert. A. D. 835" by Arthur Moreland captures a humorous moment in history with its visual wit and clever satire. Set in the year 835, this comic illustration is part of the collection "Humors of History" published around 1905. The scene depicts King Egbert of England receiving some unfortunate news, surrounded by his courtiers and advisors. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to the image, enhancing the comedic effect. As we observe this satirical drawing, it becomes evident that it pokes fun at both English and German cultures. With its playful tone, the cartoon highlights historical tensions between England and Germany during that era. It offers a lighthearted commentary on political rivalries and cultural differences prevalent across Europe. Moreland's caricature style adds an extra layer of humor to the composition as he exaggerates certain features and expressions to emphasize his point further. This artwork serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, people found solace in laughter amidst challenging times. Displayed within a private collection but made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print continues to entertain viewers today with its timeless appeal.
