EDITORS COMMENTS
Checkmate. --After Hadrian's Wall. A. D. 120 (colour litho) by Arthur Moreland is a humorous and visually captivating print that takes us back to ancient history with a twist of comedy. This satirical illustration, created for the book Humors of History in 1905, showcases the wit and creativity of its artist. Set against the backdrop of Hadrian's Wall, which once marked the northernmost boundary of Roman Britain, this cartoon-like scene depicts a comical encounter between Scottish Picts and English soldiers. The exaggerated characters and playful details bring humor to an otherwise historical setting. The clever use of satire highlights cultural differences between Scotland and England, as well as poking fun at Germanic influences during that era. Moreland's caricatured figures add an element of light-heartedness to this visual narrative, making it both entertaining and thought-provoking. With its vibrant colors and lively composition, Checkmate. --After Hadrian's Wall invites viewers into a world where history meets comedy. It serves as a reminder that even in serious moments from our past, there is always room for laughter.
