EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction drawing by Judith Dobie, depicting Matilda of Flanders during the pivotal year of 1066. Matilda was not only the wife of Duke William of Normandy but also held significant titles as Queen of England and Duchess of Normandy. Her influence extended further as she occasionally acted as regent in her husband's absence. The illustration beautifully captures Matilda's regal presence, highlighting her strength and elegance. With meticulous attention to detail, Dobie brings to life this historical figure who played a crucial role in shaping medieval Europe. Matilda's significance is heightened by her association with the Battle Abbey and the Battle of Hastings, two events that forever altered English history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back to those tumultuous times when power struggles were waged on English soil. Dobie's artistic talent shines through in every stroke, breathing life into Matilda's portrait and allowing us to connect with this extraordinary woman from centuries past. This print serves as a reminder that behind every great ruler stands an equally formidable partner whose contributions should never be forgotten. As we delve into history through this image, let us appreciate the resilience and determination embodied by Matilda of Flanders - a queen who left an indelible mark on both England and Normandy during one of their most transformative eras.
