The illustration is part of the collection called Humors of History and was published around 1905. In this satirical drawing, we see Harold giving orders to his troops before a battle. With exaggerated features and playful expressions, Moreland brings out the comedic side of this historical event. The artist's use of bright colours adds to the jovial atmosphere. The scene depicts Harold commanding his soldiers to head south for an upcoming confrontation.
