EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a significant moment in history - the arrival of the Danes on the shores of southern England a thousand years ago. The illustration, originally featured in H. D. M. Spence-Jones' book "The Church of England: A History for the People" transports us to an era filled with adventure and uncertainty. As we gaze upon this sepia-toned image, our eyes are drawn towards the mighty longships gracefully sailing up the Channel. Danish sailors stand tall on their vessels, their watchful eyes scanning the coastline for any signs of danger or resistance. With spears at hand and sails billowing in the wind, they approach cautiously yet determinedly. On land, anxious watchers peer from rocky cliffs, fear etched across their faces as they witness this impending invasion. They understand that these Vikings bring not only awe-inspiring ships but also a potential threat to their way of life. In this engraving brought to life by Herbert Alfred Bone's lithographic skills, we can almost feel the tension and apprehension that permeated those fateful moments. The maritime scene captures both beauty and trepidation as two worlds collide - one seeking conquest while another stands ready to defend its shores. This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of how past events shape our present reality and highlights humanity's enduring struggle for power and survival against formidable odds.
