EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Frontispiece Eikon Basilike 1649 Etching state" transports viewers to a momentous era in history. Created by the talented artist Wenceslaus Hollar, a Bohemian native from Prague who later settled in London, this version of the artwork was designed by William Marshall. The intricate etching showcases an emblematical design divided into two compartments. In the left compartment, we see King Charles I kneeling on a terrace with his left knee, his gaze directed upwards. He holds a crown of thorns and a book propped on a table in front of him. At his feet lies a globe while rays extend from his eyes symbolizing martyrdom. In the top right corner, another ray emerges from behind his head amidst clouds. The right-hand compartment presents an awe-inspiring scene where a rock rises above stormy seas in the foreground. Palm trees line the shore as they sway against strong winds. A figure bearing a tray laden with weights stands amidst this tumultuous setting. This remarkable piece captures both the religious devotion and political turmoil surrounding King Charles I during this period. It serves as an intriguing visual representation of historical events and offers insight into Hollar's exceptional artistic skills and attention to detail.
