EDITORS COMMENTS
Edwy and Elgiva, mid 19th century - A Glimpse into Early British History". This photo print, created by J Rogers in the mid-19th century, offers a fascinating depiction of a significant moment from early British history. The scene portrays Queen Elgiva and King Eadwig being reproved by priests, possibly Archbishop Odo and Saint Dunstan, on the day of Eadwig's consecration as king. Eadwig All-Fair or Eadwig ruled over England from 955 until his untimely death in 959 AD. During his reign, he was briefly married to Aelfgifu or Elgiva. This engraving is based on an original work from the late 18th century and showcases the intricate details that bring this historical event to life. In this monochrome image, we see the imposing figures of Archbishop Odo and Saint Dunstan admonishing the royal couple within a church setting. The presence of religious symbols such as crosiers adds depth to their roles as spiritual leaders guiding both monarchs towards righteousness. The print captures not only the political power struggle between monarchy and clergy but also provides insight into medieval society's strong ties with Christianity. It serves as a reminder of how religion played a crucial role in shaping governance during those times. Thanks to John Tallis & Company's meticulous reproduction techniques, this piece allows us to appreciate William Hamilton's remarkable artwork even centuries later. As we gaze upon Edwy and Elgiva locked in this pivotal moment in history, we are transported back to an era where power struggles intertwined with faith defined kingdoms.
