EDITORS COMMENTS
In this comical engraving, we witness a lighthearted moment in history as Augustine is kindly received by Ethelbert, the King of Kent. The American School's 19th-century artwork captures the essence of this amusing encounter. As the image suggests, Saint Augustine arrives in England with an air of confidence and charm. His Germanic origins are evident through his regal attire and dignified demeanor. Meanwhile, Ethelbert stands before him with a bemused expression on his face, clearly amused by the arrival of this esteemed visitor. The scene takes place against a backdrop that hints at both English and German culture. It serves as a playful reminder of the historical ties between these two nations. The humorous undertones are further emphasized by the inclusion of witty details such as exaggerated facial expressions and exaggerated features. This engraving was originally created to accompany Bill Nye's History of England in 1896. The illustrators W. M Goodes and A. M Richards have masterfully brought this comedic moment to life through their detailed work. Overall, this print offers viewers a delightful glimpse into an unexpected meeting between two influential figures from different lands. It reminds us that even amidst serious historical events, there is always room for humor and light-heartedness
