EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Druids, 1815" by Robert Havell showcases the ancient practice of Druidism in all its mystical glory. The image portrays two druids, adorned in white robes symbolizing their holiness and purity. On the right stands an Arch-Druid, distinguished by his crown made of oak leaves and holding a sceptre, representing his high status within the order. The other druid holds a crescent known as Caed-Rai-Re, signifying the first quarter of the Moon. The artwork also features significant artifacts at the bottom - a gold crescent discovered in Ireland and a sacred gold hook used for cutting mistletoe. These objects hold great religious importance to the druids and further emphasize their connection with nature and spirituality. Through this stunning aquatint print, Havell transports us back to ancient Britain during the 19th century when these enigmatic figures roamed its lands. Their presence evokes a sense of mystery and reverence as they engage in rituals deeply rooted in Celtic traditions. With meticulous attention to detail, Havell masterfully captures not only the physical appearance but also conveys the spiritual essence of these druids. This artwork serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and invites us to delve into their fascinating world where science meets religion amidst lush natural surroundings.
