EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Saxon raiders" takes us back to the dark ages, specifically the 1920s. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II and featured in Story of the British Nation, Volume I by Walter Hutchinson, this illustration beautifully captures a scene of chaos and captivity. Set against a dramatic coastal backdrop with towering cliffs and crashing waves, Saxon raiders are depicted rowing their boats towards land. Dressed in traditional helmets and shields, these fierce warriors pillage as they capture both men and women from the local population. Amidst the chaos, one can't help but notice a female captive standing defiantly on a cliff edge. Her presence adds an intriguing dynamic to this otherwise male-dominated image. The artist skillfully portrays her strength amidst adversity. Woodville's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his monochrome masterpiece. The intricate depiction of water transport showcases his expertise in capturing movement and action. As we gaze upon this print from The Print Collector collection, we are transported back in time to witness an intense moment from history. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' struggles during those turbulent times while also highlighting Woodville's talent for bringing historical events to life through art.
