EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 1920s depicts the dramatic scene of an attempted assassination on King Edwin of Northumbria in AD 626. Created by artist John Harris Valda, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing historical events with great detail and emotion. In this particular image, we see a grand hall filled with servants and subjects as they witness the shocking moment when an assassin tries to take the life of their beloved king. The tension in the room is palpable, as everyone's eyes are fixed on the unfolding drama. The engraving beautifully portrays not only the English history but also highlights Germany's connection to it during that era. It serves as a reminder of how intertwined European cultures were throughout history. Valda's lithograph draws us into this pivotal moment in time, allowing us to reflect on both political intrigue and human resilience. Through his skilled hand, he captures not just a single event but also echoes larger themes such as power struggles and loyalty within society. This print is part of a private collection and was originally published in Hutchinsons Story of the British Nation. Its inclusion here reminds us of how art can transport us back in time, offering glimpses into significant moments that have shaped our world today.
