EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print showcases Pope Adrian IV, also known as Hadrian IV, who was born around 1100 to 1159. He holds the distinction of being the only English-born pope in history. The illustration is a remarkable piece from "The National and Domestic History of England" by William Aubrey, published in London circa 1890. Pope Adrian IV's birth name was Nicholas Breakspear or Breakspeare. His ascension to the papacy as the fourth pontiff with the name Adrian IV marked a significant milestone for England. This striking image captures his dignified presence and commanding gaze. Ken Welsh has skillfully preserved this historical moment through his masterful print, allowing us to delve into a bygone era when an Englishman held one of Catholicism's highest positions. It serves as a reminder of the diverse backgrounds that have shaped our world throughout centuries. As we admire this exquisite portrayal, let us reflect on Pope Adrian IV's legacy and how he navigated his role during a time filled with political complexities and religious fervor. May this artwork inspire us to explore further into history while appreciating Ken Welsh's dedication in preserving such invaluable pieces for generations to come.
