EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting New Forest in Hampshire, England, circa 1900. The talented artists Poulton & Co beautifully captured Rufus Stone, an iconic landmark shrouded in history and mystery. Standing proudly amidst the picturesque scenery, this iron-clad stone is believed to mark the very spot where King William II met his untimely demise with a fatal arrow during a royal hunting expedition in 1100 AD. The monochrome tones of this image evoke a sense of nostalgia as we delve into the rich heritage of England's past. As if frozen in time, this Victorian-era photograph transports us to an era long gone but not forgotten. The lettering on the stone serves as a poignant reminder of the tragic event that unfolded centuries ago. Taken from "Sights and Scenes in England and Wales" published by Cassell and Company Ltd. , c1900, this print holds both artistic value and historical significance. It encapsulates the essence of literature, artistry, and preservation all within one frame. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how our surroundings can become living testaments to momentous events that have shaped our world. This print allows us to connect with an eleventh-century tale while appreciating it through twentieth-century eyes.
