EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 13th century, immersing us in a historical moment of great significance. Depicting St Louis, King of France seeking refuge from the Saracens, it captures the essence of bravery and resilience amidst conflict. The image showcases a village in the Middle East where St Louis finds shelter during his crusade. The king is portrayed on horseback, clad in intricate armor and chain mail, symbolizing his role as a valiant knight defending Christianity. His loyal dog stands faithfully by his side, emphasizing their unbreakable bond. As we delve into this snapshot of history, we witness not only the physicality of war but also its religious undertones. St Louis embodies devotion to his faith as he seeks solace from an enemy that challenges Christian beliefs. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and timelessness to this engraving from the Harmsworth History of the World (1909). It allows us to focus on every detail: from the expressions on people's faces to the texture of horses' manes. Through this powerful image, we are transported back centuries ago when kingdoms clashed for control over holy lands. It serves as a reminder that even in times of turmoil, individuals like St Louis stood firm in their convictions while seeking sanctuary amidst chaos.
