The Rufus Stone - A Silent Witness to a Tragic History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting New Forest in 1890, where an ancient monument known as The Rufus Stone stands proudly. Its creator remains unknown, but its significance is undeniable. This stone marks the very spot where King William II of England met his untimely demise in 1100. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are transported through time to witness a pivotal moment in history. It was during a hunting expedition that an arrow pierced through the lung of King William II, ending his life abruptly. The forest's serene beauty contrasts starkly with the tragic event that unfolded beneath these towering trees. The engraving captures not only the memorial stone itself but also highlights its surroundings - nature at its finest. The lush foliage and majestic trees serve as witnesses to this somber historical event. Through Edmund Ollier's lens, we catch a glimpse of medieval England and feel connected to those who lived during this tumultuous period. Cassells Illustrated Universal History brings forth stories from centuries past, allowing us to immerse ourselves in their world. Let this thought-provoking image remind us of our shared human history and how even seemingly insignificant objects like stones can carry profound meaning for generations to come.
