EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "The King Stops the Duel" we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in history. The artist, Henry Justice Ford, skillfully captures the tension and drama of a duel about to unfold. Set against a backdrop of regal opulence, two figures stand poised for combat - King Richard II and the Duke of Norfolk. As our eyes navigate through intricate details and delicate lines, we can almost feel the anticipation hanging in the air. But just as swords are about to clash, an unexpected twist occurs. The king himself intervenes, halting the impending duel with his commanding presence. This powerful image is taken from Mrs Lang's book "The Book of Princes and Princesses" published by Longmans in 1908. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold great power are not exempt from moments of vulnerability or conflict resolution. Through digital restoration techniques employed on this print by Bridgeman Images, we can now appreciate every stroke and nuance with enhanced clarity. This artwork not only showcases Ford's artistic prowess but also invites us to reflect on themes such as leadership, diplomacy, and mercy. "The King Stops the Duel" is more than just an engraving; it encapsulates a historical event frozen in time – one that reminds us of both human frailty and strength at once.
