EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative Medieval print depicts Hereward the Wake, a legendary English rebel leader from the late 11th century, surrounded by his drunken men at a riotous feast. Hereward, dressed in furs and wearing a horned helmet, sits at the head of the table, his gaze fixed intently on Martin Lightfoot, who is depicted at the far left of the image, clutching a letter and making his way towards the door. Hereward's expression suggests that he has just realized the gravity of the situation and that action must be taken to prevent Martin from departing with the important missive. The scene is one of debauchery and excess, with the men around the table drinking from tankards and toasting one another with pieces of bread. The air is thick with the smell of ale and the sound of laughter and revelry. The use of color is limited, with the predominantly brown and green tones adding to the earthy, authentic feel of the image. Hereward the Wake was a historical figure who led resistance against the Norman conquest of England in the late 1000s. He is said to have hidden in the marshes of the Fens and continued to harass the Normans for years after the conquest was complete. This print, circa 1820, captures the mythic quality of Hereward's legend and the wild, unruly spirit of the Medieval period. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the social and cultural practices of the time, and the sense of camaraderie and merriment that could be found even in the midst of political upheaval and conflict.
