EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithographic print depicts the arrival of Brothers Hengist and Horsa at Ebbsfleet, Isle of Thanet, Kent during the invasion by the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes in the 5th century. The image showcases a pivotal moment in British history as these Germanic tribes set foot on British soil for the first time. The scene is filled with action and anticipation as a fleet of ships approaches the shore. The brothers stand proudly at the helm of their vessel, leading their people towards new lands and opportunities. Their presence exudes strength and determination as they prepare to establish their dominance over this foreign land. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate sails billowing in the wind to each warrior's shield and sword glistening under sunlight. Winged helmets adorn their heads, symbolizing both power and protection. This historical illustration comes from "The Story of the British People in Pictures" a publication that aimed to bring Britain's rich history to life through visual storytelling. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' bravery and resilience during times of conquest and change. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago when these shores were witness to great upheaval but also laid foundations for future generations. It reminds us that our present-day culture is deeply intertwined with our past, shaping who we are today as proud Britons.
