EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts the Battle of the Holme in 902, a significant clash between the Danes and the combined forces of Wessex and Kent under Edward the Elder. The intense battle scene showcases the ferocity and chaos that unfolded on that fateful day. At its center, we witness Aethelwold aetheling, who had chosen to align himself with the Danes, meeting his tragic end. His death symbolizes both the high stakes of this conflict and the consequences of choosing alliances against one's own people. The artist masterfully captures every detail of this historical event, from the intricate armor worn by soldiers to their determined expressions as they engage in combat. The composition exudes tension and energy as warriors confront each other amidst a backdrop of rolling hills. This print is part of Les Peuples du Nord - Russie, Allemagne, Angleterre by E de la R. . . , an esteemed work published in France during the late 19th century. Its inclusion in this collection speaks to its significance within European history. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it serves as a poignant reminder of past conflicts and their impact on shaping nations. It invites us to reflect on our shared human history while marveling at both our capacity for bravery and our propensity for division.
