Mans Most Faithful Servant - A Silhouette Journey Through History on Horseback
EDITORS COMMENTS
by H.L. Oakley is a captivating and evocative print that transports us through the annals of time, showcasing the enduring bond between humans and horses as depicted in various historical contexts. The image opens with a knight on horseback, poised for battle at the Battle of Crecy in 1346. The silhouette of the horse and rider, with the sun setting behind them, encapsulates the courage and determination of the medieval warrior. The scene shifts to the English Civil War, where Roundheads and Cavaliers clash at the Battle of Marston Moor, their steeds charging forward in a frenzy of conflict. The print then takes us to the Crimean War, where the Battle of Balaclava unfolds. The galloping horses and their riders, armed with sabers and lances, symbolize the raw power and intensity of the military charge. The next scene transports us to the First World War, where horses are depicted plowing furrows in the foreground, while the chaos of war rages in the background. This poignant juxtaposition highlights the dual role of horses in war - as weapons of war and as essential workers. The final scene in the print is a tranquil and bucolic one, with a horse peacefully plowing a field. This image serves as a reminder of the horse's more pastoral purpose, as a faithful servant to man, helping to cultivate the land and sustain life. Overall, Mans Most Faithful Servant is a breathtaking visual journey through history, showcasing the indelible bond between humans and horses, and the various roles they have played in shaping our world. From the battlefield to the farm, the horse has been a constant companion to mankind, and this print beautifully captures that timeless connection.
