EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the essence of the popular British ballad, Chevy-Chase, which tells the tale of a grand hunt led by Percy, the Earl of Northumberland, in the late 14th century. The scene depicts Percy and his men in full armor, mounted on horses, in pursuit of a magnificent stag through the Scottish borderlands. However, this hunt was not just a simple sporting event, as it was interpreted as an invasion of Scotland by the Scottish Earl of Douglas, who had forbidden the hunt on his lands. The events depicted in the ballad are believed to be based on the real-life Battle of Otterburn, which took place on August 13, 1388. The battle saw the Scottish forces, led by the Earl of Douglas, clash with the English army under the command of the Earl of Northumberland. The battle is famous for its inconclusive outcome, with both sides claiming victory, and for the legend of the 'Grey Man of Otterburn,' a ghostly figure said to haunt the battlefield. The print beautifully captures the atmosphere of the time, with the rugged landscape, the fierce determination of the hunters, and the sense of tension between the two neighboring nations. The faded colors and intricate details add to the historical authenticity of the image, transporting us back to a time of chivalry, honor, and conflict. The Chevy-Chase ballad remains a fascinating part of British folklore, and this print is a testament to its enduring appeal.
