EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Hereward the Wake's interview with his mother and the priest Herluin. Illustrated by Charles Kingsley and published in 1870, this steel plate engraving by C. G. Lewis beautifully depicts the rebel leader, Hereward, engaging with his trusted advisor and beloved mother. Hereward the Wake was an iconic figure during the Norman Conquest of England in the 11th century. Known for his resistance against Norman rule, he became a legendary symbol of Anglo-Saxon defiance. In this image, we see him standing tall and resolute as he converses with his mother Edith of Bourne and confers with Priest Herluin. The composition is richly detailed; every element holds significance to this tale of rebellion and Christian faith. The presence of Lady Godiva on a nearby cross reminds us of her own legendary act of bravery. As Hereward points towards something unseen but undoubtedly important, we are left to wonder about their conversation's nature. This engraving not only portrays historical events but also delves into mythology surrounding Hereward's life as an outlaw and exile. It encapsulates both his leadership qualities as well as his deep connection to family bonds. Displayed proudly within The Stapleton Collection, this artwork serves as a reminder that legends like Hereward continue to inspire generations through their unwavering spirit and determination against all odds.
