EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to one of the most significant events in English history - the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The reconstruction drawing, skillfully created by Jason Askew, transports us to the heart of the action at Battle Abbey in East Sussex. As we gaze upon this graphic illustration, we are immediately struck by the intensity and chaos that must have engulfed this historic battlefield. The soldiers depicted here, both Norman and Saxon, stand tall with their shields raised high and weapons poised for combat. Their armor gleams under the sunlight as they mount their majestic horses, ready to charge into battle. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of paint brings life to each figure on this vast canvas. We can almost hear the clash of swords and feel the ground tremble beneath our feet as these brave warriors fight for supremacy. In this moment frozen in time, we witness William the Conqueror's relentless pursuit to claim England as his own. It is a testament to human resilience and determination amidst adversity. This print serves not only as a visual feast but also as a poignant reminder of our nation's rich heritage and how it has shaped our present-day society. It invites us to reflect on those who came before us - their sacrifices and triumphs that have paved the way for generations yet unborn.
