EDITORS COMMENTS
In the aftermath of the fateful Battle of Hastings in 1066, Edith, the beloved daughter of the fallen English King Harold, leads a somber procession of monks through the English countryside in search of her father's body. With a lantern in hand, the young princess navigates the rugged terrain, her expression a mix of determination and sorrow. The monks, dressed in their robes and cowls, follow closely behind, their faces etched with the weight of their sacred mission. This poignant scene, captured in this 19th-century print, harks back to the Middle Ages and the rich chronicles of English history. The image, reminiscent of medieval illustrations, transports us back to a time when the line between the sacred and the secular was blurred, and the search for the dead king's body was a matter of both religious and political significance. Edith, a true Briton and the last legitimate Anglo-Saxon monarch, was a symbol of hope and resistance in the face of the Norman conquest. Her unwavering commitment to her father's memory and the preservation of her people's heritage would continue to inspire generations to come. This evocative print, produced in the Victorian era, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to bear witness to a moment of profound loss and resilience in the annals of English history.
