EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Robin Hood's Death and Burial" takes us on a journey through the rich history of British ballads. Created by William Small in 1881, this print captures the essence of Robin Hood's legendary tale with remarkable detail. The scene depicts the solemn moment of Robin Hood's burial, surrounded by his loyal companions and mournful villagers. The artist skillfully portrays the emotions etched on their faces, reflecting both sorrow and admiration for this bold outlaw who fought against injustice. As we delve into the world of English literature and folklore, we are reminded of the power that poetry holds in preserving cultural heritage. This illustration was originally featured in George Barnett Smith's compilation "Illustrated British Ballads Old and New" further emphasizing its significance within British literary traditions. Beyond its historical context, this artwork also offers a glimpse into European culture during that era. With references to Germany and Northern Europe scattered throughout the image, it serves as a reminder of how stories like Robin Hood transcend borders and captivate audiences across different nations. Intriguingly detailed yet evocative in its simplicity, Small's engraving invites us to reflect upon themes such as mortality and heroism while immersing ourselves in Britain's vibrant past. It is an exquisite piece that not only pays homage to one of England's most beloved legends but also celebrates the enduring power of storytelling itself.
