EDITORS COMMENTS
In this vibrant and captivating print, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in early English history. The scene depicts the dramatic betrayal of Caractacus by his stepmother, Cartismandua. The artist's use of color lithography brings an added layer of intensity to the image, as we see Caractacus chained and surrounded by Romans while Cartismandua stands nearby with a look of treachery on her face. This betrayal is further emphasized by the comic style employed, adding a touch of humor to an otherwise serious historical event. This illustration is taken from "Comic Snap Shots from Early English History" written by "Wil The Parkes" and published around 1904. It offers us a unique glimpse into pre-invasion England, where conspiracy and plot were rife. The image captures not only the historic significance but also entertains us with its amusing portrayal of characters and events. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of great turmoil and treachery, there can be elements of wit and irony. As we delve into this snapshot from our past, it sparks our curiosity about these ancient times while reminding us that history is often more complex than meets the eye. This print invites us to explore the depths of human nature - both its capacity for betrayal and its ability to find humor even in dire circumstances.
