EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures a moment in the life of a Plantagenet king of England out hunting. The identity of the king depicted is believed to be King John, who reigned from 1167 to 1216. Mounted on his majestic horse, surrounded by lush greenery and towering trees, he exudes power and authority as he engages in this age-old sport. With his loyal hunting dog by his side, the king is shown chasing after various animals - birds taking flight, rabbits scurrying away, and deer gracefully leaping through the forest. His skilled horsemanship and determination are evident as he navigates through the terrain with ease. The medieval manuscript-inspired artwork adds an air of authenticity to this scene from centuries past. Every detail has been meticulously captured in vibrant colors, bringing to life a moment that would have otherwise remained confined within history books. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when kings ruled over vast lands and engaged in noble pursuits such as hunting. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and offers us a glimpse into the lives of those who shaped our nation's history. This remarkable piece provides not only aesthetic pleasure but also sparks curiosity about the customs and traditions that prevailed during the Middle Ages. It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance – truly an invaluable addition for any admirer of British royalty or medieval culture.
