EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Portraits and Dresses of the Kings of England" takes us back to the 18th century. Created by artist Hawkins, it showcases a collection of regal figures from English history prior to the Norman Conquest. The engraving is extracted from Barnard's New Complete and Authentic History of England, adding an air of authenticity to this historical masterpiece. Intricately detailed, each king is depicted in his distinctive attire, adorned with symbols representing their power and lineage. From crowns to cloaks, every element exudes majesty and authority. The presence of flags and coats of arms further emphasizes their royal status. The composition also incorporates elements from nature; a towering oak tree stands tall behind these monarchs as if symbolizing their strength and longevity. A stringed instrument, possibly a harp, hints at the importance music played in medieval courts. Amongst these notable rulers are King Ethelbald, Ethelbert (King of Kent), Ethelred II (also known as Ethelred the Unready), King Alfred the Great himself - all immortalized in this exceptional artwork. Edward Barnard's inclusion suggests that he may have been instrumental in preserving these historical records for future generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back through time into an era where kings ruled with might and honor. It serves as a testament to England's rich heritage while reminding us of the enduring legacy left by these influential figures.
