EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of "The Landing of King Canute" as illustrated in Doris Ashley's Stories of Royal Children from English History. Published by Raphael Tuck in 1920, this colour lithograph beautifully depicts the historical event with intricate detail and vibrant hues. In the image, we witness King Canute's arrival on a grand sailboat, gracefully kneeling before his subjects on the sandy beach. The medieval setting is brought to life through the presence of warriors, bishops, and Viking elements that symbolize Canute's reign over England, Denmark, and Norway. The composition exudes a sense of power and authority as Canute steps onto solid ground amidst an entourage of loyal followers. The boats anchored nearby add depth to the scene while emphasizing the importance of maritime transport during this era. Howard Davie's skillful execution brings out every nuance in this historic tableau. Through his lens, we are transported back to the 11th century when King Canute ruled with strength and wisdom. This photograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in English history. It reminds us of how art can be used to preserve stories for generations to come.
