EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print of Canute, created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, is a true testament to the rich history and artistic talent of its time. The artwork, now part of a private collection, showcases the legendary King Canute in all his regal glory. Canute, famously known for his attempt to command the tides of the sea, is depicted here with an air of authority and wisdom. His commanding presence radiates from the print as he stands tall against a backdrop that hints at his historical significance. The image was originally commissioned as an illustration for "The History of England" by David Hume et al. , published around 1880. It serves as a visual representation of one chapter in this comprehensive account of British history. With intricate details and vibrant colors brought to life through chromolithography techniques, this print truly captures the essence and grandeur associated with medieval kingship. Its inclusion in Look and Learn's collection further solidifies its status as an iconic piece worth cherishing. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, it allows us to reflect on our past while appreciating both the artistic skill employed by its creator and the enduring legacy left behind by figures like King Canute.
