EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled ""If any lords conquers land in Wales, he may keep it for himself, " transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by the talented artist John Harris, this print captures the essence of King William's decree during the 12th century. The image showcases a scene filled with battles and armored soldiers, reflecting the turbulent times of conquest and power struggles. The Norman warriors depicted here are equipped with an array of weapons, ready to conquer new lands. Their determination is palpable as they march forward towards their objective. Intriguingly, this artwork sheds light on an important historical event - King William's proclamation that any lord who successfully conquered Welsh territory would be allowed to retain it for personal gain. This policy undoubtedly fueled ambition among these brave English knights who sought glory and wealth through their military exploits. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every stroke brings life to each soldier's armor and weapon. The composition exudes energy and tension as we witness history unfold before our eyes. This lithograph serves as a testament to both Valda's artistic talent and Bridgeman Images' dedication to preserving historical artworks. It allows us a glimpse into the past while reminding us of the complexities surrounding power dynamics during medieval times. "
