EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Roads of England: Ancient British Chief, Roman Soldier, Saxon, Dane, and Norman" takes us on a journey through time and culture. Created by Amedee Forestier in the early 20th century, this print showcases the rich history of England's diverse heritage. In this artwork, we see five figures representing different periods in English history. At the forefront stands an Ancient British Chief, symbolizing the indigenous people who inhabited these lands long before any other civilization arrived. Behind him is a Roman Soldier, a reminder of the influence and occupation of ancient Rome on Britain. Moving further back in time are depictions of a Saxon warrior and a Dane warrior. These represent two prominent Germanic tribes that invaded England during the Dark Ages. Finally, at the rear is a Norman figure - representative of William the Conqueror's invasion in 1066 which forever changed English society. The artist skillfully captures each character with intricate details and historical accuracy. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for Arthur Mee's book "Little Treasure Island" adding depth to its storytelling purpose. Through this print, we are reminded of how England's roads were shaped by various cultures throughout centuries - from ancient Britons to Romans to Germanic invaders. It serves as both an educational tool and a visual delight for those interested in exploring England's rich past.
