A Royal Burglar
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and humorous colour lithograph that takes us back to the year 1100. Created by Arthur Moreland, this satirical illustration was originally featured in the book "Humors of History" published around 1905. The print showcases a comical scene where a mischievous thief attempts to break into a safe filled with treasures belonging to King Henry I of England. With its visual wit and clever composition, this artwork offers an amusing take on history. The cartoonish style adds an element of light-heartedness as we witness the burglar's hilarious antics unfold. As he fumbles with tools and contorts his face in concentration, we can't help but chuckle at his futile attempts. Moreland's satirical drawing not only provides entertainment but also offers commentary on power dynamics and wealth distribution during medieval times. By depicting the audacity of a royal burglar, it playfully challenges notions of authority and highlights the absurdity inherent in such situations. This print serves as both a reminder of our shared human nature across centuries and an invitation to find humor even in historical contexts. It captures the essence of English history while poking fun at societal norms through caricatured characters and exaggerated expressions. Whether you appreciate art or have an interest in history, "A Royal Burglar" will surely bring joy with its comedic charm and witty storytelling.
