EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Caedmon before Saint Hilda, 1912" transports us back to the early 7th century in Britain. The print depicts a moment of profound significance as Caedmon, an Anglo-Saxon poet and monk, sits before Saint Hilda of Whitby. In this intimate indoor setting, Caedmon is shown deeply engrossed in his craft. With a book open on his lap, he recites his poetry with great passion and expression. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of the moment through intricate details that bring the scene to life. The monochromatic color scheme adds a sense of timelessness to the image while emphasizing its historical context. It evokes a feeling of reverence for both literature and religion during this period. This lithograph is part of "The Mighty Army" an illustrated work by W. M. Letts with artwork by Stephen Reid. Published by Wells Gardner, Darton & Co. , London in 1912, it stands as a testament to British literary heritage. As we gaze upon this remarkable portrait from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of Caedmon's contribution to poetry but also of the enduring power that art holds in capturing moments that transcend time itself.
