EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Saxon military habits of the 8th century, giving us a glimpse into the rich history and culture of England. The engraving, created by Joseph Strutt in 1848, depicts three individuals representing different ranks within the Saxon army. In the foreground stands an Anglo-Saxon officer, exuding authority and power. He is dressed in regal attire and mounted on a horse, armed with a lance that symbolizes his prowess in battle. Beside him is a cavalier, also mounted on horseback but equipped with different weaponry. This soldier represents the mounted soldiers who played crucial roles in medieval warfare. On foot stands an infantryman holding both a lance and shield for protection. His armor reflects the practicality required for ground combat during this era. Together, these three figures represent various aspects of Saxon military life during this period. The engraving itself is handcolored to enhance its visual appeal and bring out intricate details of their clothing and equipment. It was originally featured in Joseph Strutt's "Complete View of the Dress and Habits of the People of England" published in London in 1842. This remarkable piece provides valuable insight into British history while showcasing Strutt's artistic talent as he meticulously captures every aspect of these ancient military customs.
