EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Dystruccion of Jherusalem" by Wynkyn de Worde, a renowned artist from the 16th century. Created in 1923, this early English woodcut depicts the decisive event of the First Jewish-Roman War - the Siege of Jerusalem in AD70. Led by the future Emperor Titus and Tiberius Julius, the Roman army successfully besieged and conquered Jerusalem, which had been defended by its Jewish occupants since 66. In this monochrome artwork, we see three individuals holding various weapons amidst a floral border. The intense expressions on their faces reflect the brutality and destruction that unfolded during this historical conflict. The intricate details within each sword emphasize both their significance as tools of warfare and as symbols of power. This black-and-white print not only captures a significant moment in history but also represents an era when British book illustration flourished. It is featured in "British Book Illustration - Yesterday and To-day" edited by Geoffrey Holme, published by The Studio Ltd. , London. "The Dystruccion of Jherusalem" serves as a poignant reminder of humanity's capacity for violence while showcasing Wynkyn de Worde's artistic prowess. This piece stands as a testament to our collective past and invites viewers to contemplate the impact of war on societies throughout time.
