EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to one of the most significant battles in British history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II, this lithograph beautifully captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The scene depicted showcases the pivotal moment when Norman knights led by William the Conqueror charged towards Harold Godwinson's Saxon army. The artist's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the intricately designed armor worn by both sides to the determined expressions on their faces. Woodville's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to this historical event. The charging horses seem almost animated as they gallop across a rugged battlefield, while arrows fly through the air like deadly projectiles. This print truly encapsulates the ferocity and bravery displayed by these warriors during this epic clash. Originally published as an illustration in Hutchinsons Story of the British Nation, this artwork serves as a visual reminder of our rich heritage and how it has shaped modern-day Britain. It allows us to reflect upon our ancestors' sacrifices and understand how their actions have influenced our present. As we gaze upon "The First Charge at Hastings" we are transported back in time, witnessing a crucial moment that forever changed England's destiny. This lithograph stands as a testament to Woodville's artistic prowess and his ability to capture history with such vividness that it feels alive even after all these years.
