EDITORS COMMENTS
Off to the Crusades. A. D. 1096 (colour litho) captures a humorous and satirical take on history, as depicted by Arthur Moreland in his illustration for Humors of History. This comic print, part of a private collection, transports us back to the year 1096 when knights from England and Germany embarked on their journey to the Holy Land. The vibrant colors and playful style add an element of fun to this visual commentary on the Crusades. Moreland's wit shines through as he pokes gentle fun at both English and German stereotypes, creating a lighthearted atmosphere amidst a historical event that was anything but light. The cartoon-like characters are exaggerated caricatures, emphasizing certain traits associated with each nationality. The English knights exude confidence and chivalry while donning their iconic armor, while their German counterparts display stoic determination with their unique attire. This satirical drawing not only showcases Moreland's artistic talent but also serves as a reminder that humor can be found even in serious subjects like war and religion. It invites viewers to reflect on how history is often shaped by cultural differences and individual perspectives. As we gaze upon this delightful piece of art, we are reminded that laughter has the power to bridge gaps between nations and bring people together despite their differences.
