EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph, titled "The Magna Charter" captures a lighthearted moment in history with its humorous depiction of the signing of the famous document. Created by renowned artist John Hassall, this colourful print brings to life the events surrounding King John's reluctant agreement to grant certain rights and liberties to his subjects. In this whimsical scene, bishops and barons gather around a large table adorned with quills and ink pots. The exaggerated expressions on their faces add an amusing touch to the historical narrative, while still conveying the significance of this pivotal moment. As they eagerly sign their names, one can almost hear their jovial banter echoing through time. Hassall's unique style blends humour and entertainment seamlessly into this piece. With its vivid colours and playful composition, "The Magna Charter" is not only visually appealing but also serves as a reminder that even serious matters can be approached with levity. This delightful lithograph is part of a private collection but has been widely celebrated for its ability to bring history alive in such an entertaining way. Whether you are a lover of art or history, this print will surely bring joy and laughter into your home while serving as a charming conversation starter about one of England's most important documents – The Magna Carta.
