EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white illustration, we are transported back to medieval times as we witness a significant historical event - the collection of Dane Gelt from the book "The Church of England: A History for the People" published around 1910. The image showcases an annual tax imposed on Danish invaders known as Danegelt, which was collected by the Church. A square-shaped scene unfolds before our eyes, beautifully captured by Ken Welsh's artistic eye. We see a group of Danish warriors standing in front of a grand church building, their presence looming over the townspeople who have gathered to witness this momentous occasion. Clad in traditional medieval attire, these invaders demand their annual tribute from the local community. This illustration serves as a reminder of both conflict and cooperation between different cultures during that era. It offers us a glimpse into history when such taxes were levied upon conquered lands to maintain peace or appease powerful forces. Ken Welsh's attention to detail brings life to this historical print, allowing us to immerse ourselves in its rich narrative. As we ponder upon this artwork, it sparks curiosity about how societies evolved and interacted with each other throughout time – making it not just an exquisite piece but also an educational tool for those interested in unraveling our past.
