800 Years Of The Magna Carta
An illustration project created in collaboration with Herd Communications in the UK. I illustrated a number of scenes based around the history of the sealing of the Magna Carta 800 years ago. The work was created for Salisbury Cathedral which has one of only 4 copies of the document from 1215.
Last year was the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta – the great charter which established for the first time the principle that everybody, including the king, was subject to the law. Working with Herd Communications in the UK, I created a series of illustrations for use in children’s printed educational materials, the Salisbury Cathedral website and for a series of short animations used as learning resources to explain the history of the Magna Carta for Salisbury Cathedral. The Cathedral is home to one of only four remaining original 1215 copies of the Magna Carta.
Here are some of the scenes and characters I illustrated.
