EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a powerful moment in history - "Saint Anselm refusing the Archbishopric, 1912". The image showcases an interior scene set in a British bedchamber during the 11th century. Saint Anselm, a prominent philosopher and Benedictine monk, is depicted firmly declining the prestigious role of archbishop. The print exudes a sense of solemnity and determination as Saint Anselm stands tall amidst his religious brethren. Clad in traditional monastic robes, he holds a book firmly in his hands, symbolizing his dedication to literature and deep spiritual contemplation. The room's color palette adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the seriousness of this pivotal decision. Stephen Reid's skillful illustration beautifully brings to life this significant moment from W. M. Letts' renowned work "The Mighty Army". This masterpiece transports viewers back to early 20th-century Britain when Christianity played an integral role in society. Through this lithograph, we witness Saint Anselm's unwavering commitment to his beliefs and principles. His refusal speaks volumes about his steadfast devotion to God rather than worldly power or recognition. This print serves as a timeless reminder that true strength lies not in positions or titles but in staying true to one's faith and convictions. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait by Stephen Reid, we are reminded of Saint Anselm's profound impact on religious thought and philosophy during the eleventh century – an enduring legacy that continues to inspire generations even today
