EDITORS COMMENTS
Hengist and Mey: A British Ballad" is an intriguing and captivating print depicting a scene from an ancient legend that has been passed down through the generations in the British Isles. Published in 1772 by the renowned Scottish scholar and antiquarian, William Julius Mickle (1735-1788), this ballad tells the story of Hengist and Mey, two legendary figures from early British history. Hengist, a legendary king of the Saxons, and Mey, a British princess, are depicted in this print in a moment of tender affection and unity, despite their seemingly insurmountable differences. The image shows Hengist holding Mey in his arms, with a backdrop of a stormy sea and a castle in the distance. The intense emotions etched on their faces convey the deep connection between the two characters, transcending the political and cultural divisions of their time. Mickle was a leading figure in the Scottish Enlightenment, and his publication of "Hengist and Mey" reflects his interest in the history and folklore of the British Isles. The ballad was part of a larger collection of ancient British legends that Mickle compiled and published, contributing significantly to the preservation and dissemination of these stories. The print is a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and the ability of art to capture the essence of human emotions and relationships. It invites us to explore the rich history and folklore of the British Isles, and to reflect on the timeless themes of love, unity, and the complexities of human relationships that resonate across cultures and centuries. This print is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the past and offering insights into the cultural and literary traditions of the British Isles during the late 18th century. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and sharing the stories of our past, and of the enduring power of art to inspire and captivate us.
