EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph, titled "St George to the Rescue, the proud Earl of Coventry lay dead" transports us back in time to a tale of heroism and sacrifice. Created by artist Howard Davie between 1914 and 1944, this print captures a pivotal moment from the story of The Seven Champions of Christendom. In this scene, St George stands tall as he mourns over the lifeless body of the valiant Earl of Coventry. With vivid colors and intricate details, Davie skillfully brings this narrative to life. The composition exudes a sense of solemnity and reverence as St George pays homage to his fallen comrade. The illustration was originally created for Rose Yeatman Woolf's book adaptation published by Raphael Tuck around 1920. It showcases St George's unwavering dedication to protecting Christianity against all odds. This image serves as a reminder that even in death, heroes like the Earl of Coventry continue to inspire future generations with their bravery. Now part of a private collection but made accessible through Look and Learn archives, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to delve into history while appreciating its artistic merit. As we gaze upon this powerful depiction, we are reminded not only of our national heritage but also the enduring legacy left behind by saints such as St George within Christendom.
