EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print captures the historic moment of the Coronation of Harold, King of the Anglo-Saxons in 1066. Painted by W Ridgway and Daniel Maclise, it depicts a crucial event that would shape English history forever. Harold II, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, is seen taking an oath before William of Normandy to support his claim to the English throne upon Edward the Confessor's death. However, Harold's failure to honor this supposed oath and his decision to crown himself instead gave William a pretext for invasion and conquest. The image showcases a solemn ceremony filled with religious symbolism. A Christian priest stands nearby as Harold receives his crown, signifying both divine approval and earthly authority. The engraving beautifully captures the grandeur of this royal event while also conveying its underlying tension. In black and white monochrome tones characteristic of nineteenth-century prints, every detail is meticulously etched onto paper by W Ridgway. The composition highlights not only Harold but also other figures present at this significant occasion – men who played key roles in shaping England's destiny. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of how one fateful decision can alter nations' destinies forever. It serves as a poignant reminder that history is often shaped by personal choices made by individuals who hold great power and responsibility – such as King Harold II on that pivotal day in 1066.
