EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1066, a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts a messenger bringing news of Harold to William Duke of Normandy just before the Battle of Hastings. Taken from the Bayeux Tapestry, which beautifully illustrates the Norman Conquest, this scene is filled with tension and anticipation. The messenger stands tall and determined, his lance and sword at his side. He wears a flowing cape that billows behind him as he rides swiftly towards his destination. His arrival will bring crucial information that could change the course of history. William Duke of Normandy awaits anxiously for news on Harold II, who was crowned King of England after Edward the Confessor's death. This battle would determine who would ultimately claim England's throne. The handcoloured lithograph by Villain captures every intricate detail from Horace de Viel-Castel's original illustration. It showcases not only historical accuracy but also artistic brilliance. This image transports us to an era long gone but still resonating through time. It reminds us of the power struggles and conquests that shaped nations and altered destinies forever. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can't help but marvel at its beauty while contemplating the weighty significance it holds in our collective human story.
