EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of St Augustine of Canterbury preaching before Ethelbert, the Anglo-Saxon king of Kent, whom he later baptized in 597. Sent by Pope Gregory I to convert the Anglo-Saxons to Christianity, Augustine became the first Archbishop of Canterbury and played a crucial role in spreading the Christian faith throughout England.
In this colour-printed wood engraving from London in 1864, we see Augustine standing before Ethelbert with a look of determination and conviction on his face. The scene is filled with symbolism and significance as it marks a pivotal moment in British history when Christianity began to take root in the region.
The image beautifully captures the essence of Roman Catholicism and showcases the power of religious conversion through peaceful means. It serves as a reminder of how faith can bring people together and transform societies for the better.
As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are reminded of St Augustine's unwavering dedication to his mission and his commitment to spreading God's word. His legacy lives on through this powerful depiction that continues to inspire believers around the world.
