This print takes us back in time to the year 1066, a significant period in English history. Depicting a reconstruction drawing by Judith Dobie, we are transported to Battle Abbey and the infamous Battle of Hastings. The focal point of this illustration is a Saxon Farmer, providing us with an intimate glimpse into the lives of those who lived during this tumultuous era. The attention to detail in this graphic illustration is truly remarkable. Every stroke and line brings forth the essence of rural life during that time. We see the farmer diligently tending to his land, showcasing his unwavering work ethic despite the impending battle looming on the horizon. Through this image, we can almost feel ourselves standing beside him as he plows through fertile soil or tends to his livestock. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty, people continued their daily routines - finding solace and purpose in their laborious tasks. Judith Dobie's artistic talent shines through as she captures not only historical accuracy but also evokes emotions within viewers. This print allows us to appreciate both her skillful craftsmanship and her ability to transport us back over nine centuries ago.
