The Wicked Queen Elfrida - A Sinister Tale of Betrayal and Power
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness a chilling moment from English history. The image portrays the infamous Wicked Queen Elfrida, a figure shrouded in darkness and deceit. With her piercing gaze and regal attire, she exudes an air of malevolence that sends shivers down one's spine. The scene unfolds at Corfe Castle, where King Ethelred finds himself tragically deceived by his own queen. As he turns his back unsuspectingly, Elfrida seizes the opportunity to strike with a dagger concealed within her elegant robes. The wickedness of her act is palpable as she stabs him ruthlessly in the back. This powerful visual representation captures the essence of this haunting tale from English folklore. It serves as a reminder that even those closest to us can harbor treacherous intentions. The artist skillfully brings this narrative to life through expert use of colors and meticulous retouching techniques. As we delve into this historical account published by George Routledge & Sons in 1890, it becomes evident that this illustration holds both artistic merit and educational value. Its inclusion within private collections further emphasizes its significance as an enduring piece of artistry.
