Prisoners before Ethelfled - A Glimpse into the Aftermath of a Fierce Battle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Prisoners before Ethelfled after the storming of Brecon" takes us back to early Britain, specifically South Wales during a time of intense conflict. The illustration, created by Richard Caton Woodville II in 1923, depicts a scene from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation. In this dramatic image, we witness an intense confrontation between two rival factions - the Mercians and the Anglo-Saxons led by Queen Ethelfled. The aftermath of a fierce battle is evident as buildings burn and smoke fills the air. Amongst this chaotic backdrop stand prisoners captured during the conflict. The engraving showcases both male and female captives presented before their conquerors. Their expressions reveal fear and uncertainty as they face their fate at the hands of their enemies. Warriors brandish spears and shields while King Owen watches over his defeated subjects. Amidst all this turmoil lies an underlying theme - revenge. As tensions rise between these ancient kingdoms, it becomes clear that vengeance fuels much of their actions on both sides. Woodville's meticulous attention to detail brings this historical moment to life, capturing not only the physical destruction but also conveying emotions felt by those caught up in this power struggle. Through this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal event in early Britain's history –
