EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Augustine preaching before Ethelbert" takes us back to a significant moment in English history. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of a pivotal event that shaped the nation. The scene depicts Augustine, a renowned figure in Christianity, delivering his sermon before King Ethelbert. This historical encounter took place during the 6th century when Augustine arrived in England as part of a mission to convert its people to Christianity. The image beautifully portrays the intensity and passion with which Augustine imparts his teachings, while Ethelbert listens attentively, symbolizing the profound impact this meeting had on both religious and political realms. Published as an illustration for "The Children's Picture Book of English History" in 1859, this artwork not only showcases exceptional artistic skill but also serves as an educational tool for younger generations. It offers a glimpse into British culture and heritage by shedding light on one of its defining moments. As we admire this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of how history shapes our present and influences our future. It is through such visual representations that we can connect with our past and appreciate the rich tapestry of cultures that have contributed to shaping Europe's diverse landscape over time.
