The Curfew. A. D. 1086
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and humorous lithograph by Arthur Moreland that captures the essence of medieval England with a touch of satire. The print, part of the "Humors of History" series, depicts an amusing scene from the reign of William the Conqueror. In this comical illustration, we see King William I enforcing his strict curfew law in a rather unconventional way. As night falls, citizens are seen scurrying to their homes while being chased by a group of Germanic figures representing northern Germany. This clever twist adds an element of surprise and wit to the artwork. Moreland's use of vivid colors brings life to every detail, from the expressive faces to the intricate architecture in the background. The artist's satirical approach invites viewers to reflect on historical events through humor and visual storytelling. This print not only showcases Moreland's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder that even in ancient times, people found ways to poke fun at authority figures and societal norms. It highlights how comedy can transcend time periods and cultures. "The Curfew. A. D. 1086" is an entertaining piece that combines history with comic relief, making it an excellent addition for those who appreciate both artistry and humor in their collection.
