EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "King Edgar on the River Dee" we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event in English history. The vibrant colors of the lithograph bring to life the scene depicted by artist Howard Davie, as he skillfully captures an important episode from Children's Stories from English History. The image showcases King Edgar, a powerful ruler of his time, gracefully navigating the tranquil waters of the River Dee. Standing tall on a majestic barge adorned with regal symbols and flags, King Edgar exudes authority and wisdom. His presence is further enhanced by the magnificent castles that line the riverbanks, symbolizing strength and protection. As we delve into this historical narrative, we can imagine how this tributary served as a vital transportation route for kings and princes alike. The boats surrounding King Edgar's barge hint at bustling activity along these waters - tugboats guiding larger vessels while smaller boats ferry people to their dwellings nestled near the river. This extraordinary artwork not only offers us a glimpse into ancient times but also reminds us of our rich heritage and how rivers played an integral role in shaping civilizations. It invites us to reflect upon our own connection with waterways throughout history – sources of sustenance, trade routes, and gateways to exploration. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have been granted access to this remarkable piece that encapsulates both artistry and historical significance.
