EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Mr Cowens New Opera, 'Harold'" transports us back to the world of performing arts in 19th century London. The image depicts a scene from the opera "Harold" which was based on historical events surrounding the Battle of Hastings. The artist, Amedee Forestier, skillfully captures the intensity and drama of this momentous occasion. We see a confrontation on the battlefield between two figures: Harold, who claims the crown of England, and Duke William of Normandy. The bodies scattered across the ground serve as a grim reminder of the violence that took place. The composition is rich with symbolism and detail. Covent Garden can be seen in the background, representing London's support for Mr Cowen's new opera production. In addition to its artistic value, this print also holds historical significance as it was originally published in The Illustrated London News in June 1895. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with history and storytelling. It serves as a testament to human creativity and our eternal fascination with capturing significant moments through various forms of expression.
