EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of Hereward the Wake. In this illustration from Charles Kingsley's novel "Hereward the Great" we witness Hereward gallantly guarding Alftruda to a place of safety. Published in 1870 and engraved by C. G. Lewis, this steel plate engraving by Henry Courtney Selous beautifully brings to life the heroism and chivalry of medieval times. Mounted on horseback, Hereward stands as a symbol of resistance against Norman conquest, his unwavering determination evident in his eyes. With Alftruda seated behind him, he embodies both strength and protection as they ride through treacherous lands. This portrayal showcases not only their physical prowess but also their unyielding spirit. The image exudes an air of myth and legend, with its depiction of bravery amidst turmoil. It speaks volumes about leadership and sacrifice during tumultuous times when heroes like Hereward emerged to defend their people against oppression. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to the 11th century where Anglo-Saxon warriors fought valiantly for freedom. The artist skillfully captures every detail – from the intricate armor worn by soldiers surrounding them to the intensity etched on each face. This print is more than just an artistic representation; it encapsulates history itself—a testament to human resilience and unwavering courage that continues to inspire us today.
