EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1852 depicts an Anglo-Saxon monarch of the 9th century in his state habit. The regal figure is adorned in a tunic with intricately embroidered edges and hems, exuding elegance and power. A crown rests upon his head, symbolizing his authority, while a sceptre held firmly in his hand signifies his leadership. The monarch's mantle is fastened with a clasp at the shoulder, adding to the grandeur of his appearance. This garment bears resemblance to the dress worn by Charlemagne and other Frankish kings, highlighting connections between different European cultures during this period. The inspiration for this image comes from King David depicted in the Tiberius Psalter, specifically on f. 30v of Cotton MS Tiberius Cvi. Joseph Strutt skillfully handcolored this engraving as part of his Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England published in 1842. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the fashion and style prevalent among Anglo-Saxon royalty during one of their most influential centuries. It serves as a testament to their opulence and refinement while also shedding light on historical connections between different kingdoms across Europe. This print captures not only an exquisite representation but also provides valuable insights into British history and culture during that era.
