EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sack of Bath by the Saxons" takes us back in time to a tumultuous era in history. The image, a colour lithograph created by an anonymous English artist from the 20th century, depicts a scene of chaos and destruction. In this postcard-like representation, we witness the pillaging and burning of Bath by Saxon invaders. The barbarians are shown wielding axes, daggers, and spears as they mercilessly attack the city. Soldiers clad in Anglo-Saxon attire join their compatriots in wreaking havoc upon this once-thriving Roman settlement. The dark ages come alive through this historical snapshot, transporting us to a period when England was under constant threat from Germanic tribes. The Queen's shield is no match for these relentless raiders who spare nothing on their path of devastation. Amidst the chaos, horses gallop wildly while farm animals scatter in fear. This dramatic portrayal captures not only the intensity of battle but also highlights the vulnerability of innocent creatures caught up in human conflicts. As we gaze upon this powerful artwork, it serves as a reminder of our shared European heritage and the resilience that emerged from such turbulent times. It invites contemplation about how history shapes our present-day existence and encourages us to appreciate peace and stability that we often take for granted.
