EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The body of Rufus in a charcoal burners cart AD1100" takes us back to the 1920s with its vintage charm. The print, created by Henry A. Payne, offers a glimpse into an intriguing moment in British history. In this scene, we witness the aftermath of a significant event: the lifeless body of Rufus being transported on a charcoal burner's cart. The image evokes curiosity and invites us to delve deeper into the story behind it. Rufus, whose full name was William II of England, met his untimely demise in AD1100 under mysterious circumstances. This engraving captures that pivotal moment when his body is solemnly carried away for burial or examination. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully depicts the somber atmosphere surrounding Rufus' final journey. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth and intensity to the composition. This lithograph originally appeared as an illustration in Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, published by Hutchinson. It serves as a visual representation of an important historical account within British culture. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded once again that art has the power to transport us through time and immerse us in fascinating narratives from our past.
