EDITORS COMMENTS
The Burial of Harold at Waltham Abbey, (c1847) captures the poignant moment when King Harold II is laid to rest after his fateful defeat at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. This powerful print, created by an unknown artist but later engraved by Frederick Richard Pickersgill, transports us back to the 11th century England. The image portrays a scene filled with grief and mourning as both men and women gather around the wounded body of their fallen monarch. The concept of death and religious symbolism are vividly depicted through the presence of a crucifix held high above the burial site. Christianity plays a significant role in this somber occasion, emphasizing its importance during that time period. The dramatic composition highlights not only the sorrow felt by those present but also reflects upon the impact this event had on English history - marking the end of Anglo-Saxon rule and ushering in Norman conquest. The print evokes a sense of national loss while paying homage to King Harold's bravery on the battlefield. As we gaze upon this nineteenth-century artwork, we are reminded of how historical events shape our present-day society. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, we continue to honor those who have fought for their country and mourn their untimely demise.
