EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense combat between two legendary figures of history: Edmund Ironside and Canute the Great. Created by Charles Grignion in 1773, this engraving beautifully depicts a pivotal moment in English history. Edmund Ironside, the valiant King of England from April to November 1016, courageously resisted the Danish invasion led by Canute the Great. The fierce battle took place on October 18th at Ashdon, Essex, known as the Battle of Assandun. Despite his unwavering determination and five previous battles against Canute's forces, Edmund ultimately faced defeat. Grignion's intricate artwork showcases every detail of this historic clash. From the flags waving proudly above their heads to their determined expressions locked in combat, it is a visual feast for any history enthusiast. The frame surrounding this illustration adds an elegant touch while emphasizing its importance as a historical document. Originally featured in "A New and Complete History of England" by Temple Sydney, published in London in 1773, this print has become a treasured piece for those fascinated by British heritage. It serves as a reminder of Edmund Ironside's bravery and sacrifice during one of England's most challenging periods. With its monochrome aesthetic and powerful imagery, Grignion's work transports viewers back to that fateful day when these two monarchs clashed on the battlefield. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to human resilience in times of war.
