EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures a pivotal moment in British history - the assassination of Thomas a Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. The image shows four knights carrying out what they believed to be King Henry II's wishes as they brutally murder Becket in the cathedral. This tragic event took place on December 29th and has since become one of the most infamous events in British history.
The print from Mary Evans Picture Library brings this historical moment to life with striking detail and emotion. The intensity of the scene is palpable as Becket, a figure of great importance and influence, meets his untimely end at the hands of those who were meant to protect him.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness a dark chapter in Britain's past. The architectural beauty of Canterbury Cathedral serves as a stark backdrop to this violent act, reminding us that even sacred spaces can be tainted by human greed and ambition.
Through this photo print, we are reminded of the fragility of power and the consequences of unchecked authority. It is a chilling reminder that even those who hold positions of great influence are not immune to betrayal and violence.
