EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Costume of the Druidical Order of the pre-Roman era" takes us back to ancient times and offers a glimpse into the mysterious world of the Druids. Created in 1821 by Charles Hamilton Smith and engraved by R. Havell, this handcoloured aquatint showcases two figures dressed in traditional druidic attire. The central figure is an Arch-Druid adorned with a garland made of oak leaves, symbolizing wisdom and strength. Standing beside him is another Druid holding a Cornan, which represents a festival or celebration within their religious practices. Both individuals are depicted with intricate attention to detail, showcasing their elaborate costumes that reflect their cultural significance. This print comes from Samuel Meyrick's book "Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" published in London during the early 19th century. It provides valuable insights into the customs and traditions of Britain's native population before Roman influence took hold. With its rich historical context and artistic beauty, this engraving transports us to a time when paganism was prevalent and society revolved around ancient rituals and beliefs. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' deep connection to nature and spirituality. As we admire this piece from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we can't help but marvel at how it captures both the allure and enigma surrounding one of history's most intriguing groups –the Druids– leaving us longing for more knowledge about their fascinating culture.
