EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "He stood there holding the magic sword in his hand, (1905)", we are transported back to a mythical event that has captured the imaginations of countless generations. The artist, As Forrest, skillfully brings to life the iconic moment when young Arthur pulls the legendary sword from its stone, under the watchful eyes of Uther Pendragon and the wise wizard Merlin. This illustration originates from H E Marshall's book "Our Island Story", published by T C & E C Jack Ltd in 1905. It is important to note that this historical account may have presented a biased and pro-British perspective on history. Nevertheless, it does not diminish our fascination with this powerful image. The photograph showcases Arthur's awe-inspiring presence as he stands tall, dressed in regal attire complete with a helmet and wielding the magical weapon. His expression reflects both surprise and determination as he fulfills his destiny as Britain's future king. Merlin and Uther Pendragon observe with amazement at this extraordinary feat performed by their chosen leader. The vibrant colors used by As Forrest add depth and intensity to this pivotal moment in British mythology. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from early 20th century England, we cannot help but be drawn into its enchanting narrative - one that continues to inspire us today.
