EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the 5th century, a period when ancient civilizations clashed and invaders sought new lands. The image captures the piratical invasion of the Saxons under Hengist and Horsa, two Germanic brothers who led an alliance of Angles, Saxons, and Jutes in their audacious quest to conquer Britain. The engraving from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, published in 1857, showcases a pivotal moment in history that shaped the destiny of nations. With meticulous detail and artistic finesse, Ken Welsh masterfully brings this historical event to life through his vintage illustration. As we gaze upon this archival treasure, we are transported to a world where fierce warriors clash on stormy shores. The invading forces surge forward with determination as they set foot on British soil for the first time. Their longships loom large against a turbulent sea backdrop while brave defenders stand ready to repel these foreign intruders. In this picture frozen in time, we witness not only an act of conquest but also the collision of cultures and traditions. It is a testament to human ambition and resilience as well as a reminder that history is often written by those who prevail. Ken Welsh's evocative portrayal invites us to reflect on our own heritage and ponder how past events have shaped our present reality. This remarkable print serves as both an educational tool for historians and an exquisite piece of art that sparks curiosity about ancient civilizations' triumphs and tribulations.
