EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Great Seal of Commonwealth of England" an exquisite engraving by the English School from the 19th century. The image, part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the historical significance and artistic beauty of this emblematic seal. The Great Seal symbolizes the power and authority held by the government during the Commonwealth era in England. This proof impression on wax was once owned by the late Duchess of Portland, adding to its allure and provenance. It serves as a tangible link to an important period in British history. Intricate details are visible in this print, including the coat of arms proudly displayed at its center. The seal's design reflects both defensive armaments and weaponry used during that time, highlighting their importance in protecting and maintaining order within society. Notably, figures depicted wear attire appropriate for their roles: cloaks, jackets, winter coats - all elements contributing to their distinctive costume designs. These costumes evoke images of fancy dress parties or theatrical performances from that era. "The Great Seal of Commonwealth of England" is not just a mere decorative piece; it represents a significant chapter in English history. Its presence reminds us how art can preserve our collective memory while also showcasing exceptional craftsmanship.
