EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Stephen of Blois, also known as Stephen (1092-1154), a significant figure in English history. As the grandson of William the Conqueror, he ascended to the throne and ruled England from 1135 until his death. However, his reign was marred by turmoil and conflict, particularly with his cousin and rival, Empress Matilda. In this side view portrait captured in c1787, Stephen stands tall exuding an air of regality. Clad in majestic attire befitting a monarch, he holds himself with poise and confidence. The black and white monochrome adds a touch of timeless elegance to the image while emphasizing its historical significance. The photograph offers us a glimpse into 12th-century England - a time when power struggles were rife within royal families. Despite facing challenges during his rule, Stephen's legacy lives on through his successors; notably Matilda's son Henry II who became the first Angevin king. Preserved within A New Universal and Impartial History of England by George Frederick Raymond, this print serves as a visual testament to British heritage. Its intricate border design further enhances its decorative appeal while symbolizing the grandeur associated with royalty. As we observe this remarkable portrayal of King Stephen I from centuries past, we are reminded of the enduring impact that individuals can have on shaping nations' destinies.
