EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as Harold Godwinson, the Anglo-Saxon king of England, embarks on his ship to Ponthieu. With great detail and precision, the artist Villain depicts the scene from the Bayeux Tapestry, showcasing the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. In this handcoloured lithograph, we see Harold at the helm of his vessel, skillfully steering the rudder while sailors row with oars and climb up the mast. The rigging is pulled taut as they prepare to set sail towards their destination. Shields are mounted on the stern, symbolizing strength and protection during this perilous journey. The image comes alive with vibrant colors and intricate details that transport us back to ancient times. It is part of Horace de Viel-Castel's Collection des costumes, armes et meubles pour servir a l'histoire de la France (Collection of costumes, weapons and furniture to be used in the history of France), published by Treuttel & Wurtz in 1829. This fascinating piece not only showcases historical events but also highlights French fashion and costume from medieval times. It serves as a testament to our rich cultural heritage and reminds us of how art can immortalize significant moments for generations to come.
