EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour-printed wood engraving from 1864 depicts a tragic moment in English history - the death of William II (Rufus), King of England from 1087. Known for his fiery personality and controversial reign, William met his untimely end while hunting in the New Forest.
The image captures the chaos and confusion of that fateful day, with William's lifeless body lying on the forest floor as his companions look on in shock. The vibrant colours bring to life the lush greenery of the forest, creating a stark contrast to the somber mood of the scene.
William's death has long been shrouded in mystery and speculation, with some believing it was a hunting accident while others suspect foul play. Regardless of how he met his end, there is no denying the impact his death had on English history.
As we gaze upon this historical print, we are reminded of the fleeting nature of power and how even kings are not immune to tragedy. It serves as a poignant reminder of our own mortality and the fragility of human life.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of a significant event in English history but also a powerful reflection on themes such as power, fate, and mortality.
