EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting William, Duke of Normandy (c1028-1087), also known as William I, the Conqueror. As the king of England from 1066 onwards, William's impact on British history cannot be overstated. The image showcases the dramatic scene of William and his army landing near Hastings, Sussex on that fateful day - October 13th, 1066. With determination etched across his face, he leads his troops towards their ultimate goal: victory over the English forces led by King Harold II. The Battle of Hastings ensued on the following day and forever altered the course of England's destiny. The English were defeated in this historic clash, resulting in the demise of Harold II - marking him as the last Anglo-Saxon king to reign over England. This wood engraving from around 1900 beautifully encapsulates both the grandeur and brutality of this pivotal event. The intricate details carved into wood bring life to each figure depicted within this historical tableau. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder not only of an extraordinary military conquest but also highlights how one man's ambition can reshape an entire nation's future. This image stands as a testament to William I’s legacy as a conqueror who left an indelible mark on British history for generations to come.
