EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Athelstan ordering the Bible to be translated into the Saxon Language" takes us back to a significant moment in history. In this engraving from 1796, we witness King Athelstan, the first monarch of England, making a groundbreaking decision that would shape the course of Christianity. With his regal presence and commanding gesture, King Athelstan points towards an open book held by a bishop. This symbolic act signifies his determination to make religious literature accessible to all through translation into the Saxon language. The image transports us to the 10th century, often referred to as the Dark Ages, where knowledge was scarce and literacy limited. This powerful visual representation not only showcases Athelstan's commitment to spreading Christian teachings but also highlights his role as a sovereign ruler. It reminds us of his significance in shaping English history during this pivotal period. Through this thought-provoking artwork, we are reminded of how religion played a crucial role in society during those times. The print captures both historical and artistic elements with its monochrome aesthetic and attention to detail. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection, it serves as a reminder of our past and encourages reflection on how far we have come in terms of accessibility to knowledge and cultural understanding.
