EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-colored woodcut print takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Norman Invasion of England in 1066. The image depicts Taillefer, a skilled juggler and warrior, rousing the French army by singing the Song of Roland at the Battle of Hastings. As we gaze upon this vintage illustration, we are transported to a time when armor-clad soldiers on horseback clashed with swords and arrows filled the air. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable, capturing not only the intensity of battle but also showcasing the traditional medieval weaponry and attire worn by both sides. The artist skillfully portrays William the Conqueror's Norman army as they invade English soil, determined to claim victory over King Harold II's Saxon forces. This piece serves as a testament to our rich European heritage and reminds us of Britain's historic past. It allows us to reflect on how these events shaped British history and ultimately led to profound changes within society. As we delve into this snapshot from the 11th century, it becomes evident that art has an incredible power to transport us through time. This print serves as a visual reminder of one of Europe's most pivotal battles - an event that forever altered the course of English history.
