EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Augustine before Ethelbert" takes us on a journey back in time to witness a pivotal moment in English history. The image showcases the meeting between St Augustine and King Ethelbert, an event that would shape the course of Christianity in England. The scene is filled with anticipation as St Augustine, adorned in his ecclesiastical robes, stands before the mighty king. His expression exudes confidence and determination as he prepares to deliver his message of faith. King Ethelbert sits on his throne, listening intently to this foreign missionary who has come from afar. The artist skillfully captures the grandeur of the setting - a regal hall adorned with ornate tapestries and intricate architectural details. The lighting adds depth and drama to the composition, emphasizing the gravity of this encounter. This engraving was created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century. It was later featured in David Hume's edition of "The History of England" published by R Bowyer in London in 1812. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are reminded of how pivotal moments like these have shaped our world today. It serves as a testament to both religious devotion and political power - two forces that have always played significant roles throughout human history.
