EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Origin of the Institution of the Garter" takes us back in time to an important moment in English history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal event that shaped the nation's traditions and monarchy. The scene depicted is none other than King Edward III establishing the prestigious Order of the Garter. This ancient order, still revered today, holds immense significance as one of England's oldest and most esteemed institutions. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a grand hall where knights gather around their sovereign ruler. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable; every knight's armor shines with meticulous precision while their expressions convey both loyalty and honor. The composition exudes a sense of power and authority befitting such an occasion. It is fascinating to learn that this particular image was originally created as an illustration for David Hume's edition of "The History of England" published by R Bowyer in London during 1812. Its inclusion within such a renowned historical text speaks volumes about its importance and accuracy. As admirers of fine art, we can appreciate how Bridgeman Images has preserved this significant piece from our past. Through prints like these, we are able to connect with history on a deeper level – understanding not only events but also the visual representation they left behind for future generations to admire.
