EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "I am Edward, King of England, 1923" transports us back in time to an era filled with tales of royalty and poverty. The color lithograph, created by William Hatherell, showcases a young boy immersed in a book that tells the story of "The Prince and the Pauper" by Mark Twain. In this enchanting illustration from J. M. Dent's publication in 1923, we witness a moment of disbelief on the child's face as he delves into the world of mistaken identity and class divide. The image beautifully captures both the innocence and incredulity experienced by children when confronted with stories that challenge their understanding of reality. Set against a backdrop evoking London's squalor, this artwork highlights the stark contrast between opulence and destitution during Edward VI's reign. It serves as a poignant reminder that even within royal narratives, poverty remains an ever-present force shaping society. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from their private collection, offering viewers an opportunity to delve into historical storytelling through art. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to another time where kings ruled over kingdoms while paupers struggled for survival. Let your imagination wander as you explore this mesmerizing depiction that encapsulates both the power of literature and our fascination with monarchies throughout history.
