EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "How Hereward departed from Ely, and how he killed the mare, Swallow" offers a glimpse into the legendary tale of Hereward the Wake. Created by Charles Kingsley in 1870 and engraved by C. G. Lewis, this steel plate engraving showcases the remarkable artistic talent of Henry Courtney Selous. In this scene, we witness Hereward's daring escape from Ely as he navigates through treacherous waters on a small boat. With determined oarsmen propelling them forward, they row with all their might to evade capture by Norman forces during the tumultuous period of the Norman Conquest. However, it is not just his skillful rowing that captures our attention; it is also his act of killing his trusted mare named Swallow. This dramatic moment symbolizes sacrifice and loyalty as Hereward eliminates any traceable evidence that could lead his pursuers to him. The intricate details in this print bring to life an era filled with resistance and rebellion against oppressive forces. The horses depicted alongside other farm animals remind us of the importance these creatures held in medieval society – both as companions and valuable assets for transportation. As we delve into this historical narrative through artistry, we are transported back to a time when legends like Hereward inspired hope among those fighting for freedom. This print serves as a testament to human resilience and determination even in times of adversity – reminding us that heroes can arise from unexpected places.
