EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and whimsical colour lithograph titled "The King and the Forester" we are transported back to the Christmas of 1901, as depicted in The Graphic magazine. This delightful illustration by William Ralston captures a moment of lighthearted humor and camaraderie between two unlikely companions - King William and a forester. Set against the backdrop of Kensington Court, we witness an amusing scene unfold. The king, dressed regally in his royal attire, kneels before the forester with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. With spirits high, they engage in conversation while surrounded by porters carrying their respective belongings. It seems that our king has found himself in need of assistance from this humble forester. Perhaps he seeks guidance on matters related to land or sport? Or maybe he simply enjoys the company of someone who shares his love for nature's beauty. As we observe this charming interaction, it becomes evident that despite their differing positions in society - one being royalty and the other a keeper of the forest - these individuals have formed an unexpected bond. Their shared laughter overflows as they exchange stories amidst baskets filled with pomegranates and guineas – symbols representing both wealth and enjoyment. This print not only showcases Ralston's artistic talent but also reminds us that true distinction lies not solely within titles or awards but rather through genuine connections forged between individuals regardless of social standing.
