EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative Norman print depicts the nightly curfew check, an ancient tradition thought to have been initiated by William I in 1070 England. As the sun sets and the first stars begin to twinkle in the sky, the sound of the curfew bell rings out through the quiet evening air, signaling the beginning of the nightly ritual. Soldiers and guards, armed with lanterns, make their way through the dimly lit streets to ensure that all fires have been extinguished. The curfew law was a crucial safety measure during a time when fires could easily spread and destroy entire towns and villages. The print, circa 1850, offers a fascinating glimpse into the historical events and traditions of medieval Britain. The Normans, known for their military prowess and administrative skills, brought many new customs and laws to the land they conquered. The curfew law was just one of many ways they sought to maintain order and safety in their new realm. The image captures the solemn and disciplined atmosphere of the curfew check, with the soldiers moving methodically from house to house, their lanterns casting long, eerie shadows on the cobblestone streets. The print also highlights the importance of community in the face of danger, as neighbors would often help each other put out their fires before the curfew bell rang. This print is a valuable reminder of the rich history and traditions that have shaped the world we live in today. It invites us to reflect on the past and appreciate the enduring legacy of the Normans in British history.
