EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the tragic demise of King Harold of England during the Battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066. The image showcases the intensity and brutality of warfare in the 11th century, as William, Duke of Normandy, aims an arrow towards Harold's eye with fatal precision. The artist skillfully portrays King Harold II as a regal figure, emphasizing his royal status and importance to English history. With blood staining his armor and pain etched across his face, Harold's fate is sealed in this climactic scene. This print from "The New, Impartial and Complete History of England" by Edward Barnard transports us back to London in 1783 when it was first published. As we delve into this historical illustration, we are reminded of the significance that this battle had on shaping England's destiny. It marked William's conquest over Anglo-Saxon rule and led to him becoming known as William the Conqueror. This vintage engraving serves as a powerful reminder of our past and invites us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought for power and control. Through its archival nature, it allows us to explore a period long gone but not forgotten – one filled with bravery, conflict, and ultimately change.
