EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "King Athelstan saving the Life of his Father, Edward the Elder at the Battle of Sherwood" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by George Frederick Raymond in 1787, this monochrome image showcases a heroic act that unfolded during the 10th century. In this scene, King Athelstan valiantly rescues his father, King Edward the Elder, from imminent danger on the battlefield. Set against a backdrop of majestic trees and fortified buildings in England's countryside, we witness an intense battle between two forces. Leofrid the Dane, depicted as a prisoner with hands bound by chains, is being apprehended by King Athelstan. The young monarch's shield bears testament to his bravery and loyalty towards his family and country. This portrait not only immortalizes an extraordinary act of heroism but also serves as a powerful symbol of fatherhood and familial bonds. It reminds us that even kings are sons who will go to great lengths to protect their loved ones. George Frederick Raymond's print transports us back to this pivotal event in British history with its attention to detail and historical accuracy. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but be captivated by its timeless depiction of courage and sacrifice amidst war-torn landscapes.
