EDITORS COMMENTS
Hereward The Wake, c1893. This print captures the essence of Hereward the Wake, a legendary Anglo-Saxon nobleman from the 11th century. Created by artist HC Balding, this engraving beautifully depicts a Victorian imagining of Hereward carrying off a lady whom he has protected and avenged. The statue portrayed in this artwork was crafted by renowned sculptor Thomas Brock in 1874. It showcases Hereward as a symbol of heroism and virtue during a time when England was undergoing significant changes after the Norman Conquest. Intriguingly, this monochrome image not only reflects the artistic style of its era but also transports us back to an age where chivalry and romance were revered concepts. The rescue scene depicted here evokes feelings of admiration for Hereward's bravery and his dedication to safeguarding those under his care. This print serves as both an homage to British history and an exploration of human nature's timeless themes - love, honor, and sacrifice. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded that tales like these continue to inspire us across centuries. Brought to you by The Print Collector, this historical masterpiece is sure to captivate art enthusiasts with its intricate details and powerful storytelling.
