EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print showcases a remarkable banner and poem from the 15th century, offering us a glimpse into the rich artistic and literary heritage of medieval England. Attributed to St Edmund, the esteemed king of the West Saxons in the 9th century, this facsimile depicts intricate designs that hold deep religious symbolism. The banner prominently features an array of vibrant colors and exquisite craftsmanship. A majestic tree stands tall at its center, representing the Tree of Knowledge from biblical lore. Surrounding it are various animals and plants, including a serpent coiled around one side—a powerful reminder of Adam and Eve's temptation in Eden. Accompanying this visual masterpiece is a poetical description composed by John Lydgate, a renowned poet who lived during the same period as St Edmund. His words eloquently capture the essence of each device portrayed on the banner, further enhancing our understanding and appreciation for this historical artifact. As we delve into this print's details—the delicate handwriting, meticulous brushstrokes—we can't help but be transported back to an era where art intertwined seamlessly with religion and literature. It serves as a testament to both human creativity and devotion. Thanks to Charles John Smith's dedication in preserving such treasures through his publication "Historical and Literary Curiosities" we now have access to these extraordinary glimpses into our past.
