EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical print, titled "William I, 1856" captures the essence of King William I of England in a lighthearted manner. Created by the talented artist Alfred Crowquill, this illustration is part of his renowned work called "Comic History of the Kings and Queens of England". In this particular image, we see King William I depicted with great humor and wit. Clad in regal red attire and holding a shield adorned with his royal emblem, he exudes confidence as he gazes away from the viewer. The artist's use of color adds to the liveliness of the scene. The print showcases Crowquill's unique ability to blend history with comedy. Through his caricature style, he brings out both the difficulties faced by William I during his reign as well as an element of confusion that often accompanies ruling a country. Dating back to the 11th century when William was known as Duke of Normandy before becoming King, this artwork transports us to a significant period in English history. It serves not only as an entertaining piece but also provides valuable insights into literature and historical events. Preserved by The Print Collector29 under their collection "Comic History" this print continues to captivate audiences even after more than a century since its creation. Its presence reminds us that art has always been an effective medium for storytelling and capturing moments from our past.
