EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Besieged at Michaelmas" transports us back to a dramatic moment in history. Created by the talented artist William III Bromley, this print captures an intense scene that unfolded during the 17th century. The image showcases a group of women fearfully huddled together as they find themselves under siege from an unexpected and relentless enemy - geese. The composition skillfully portrays the chaos and panic that ensues when nature's creatures turn against humanity. The geese, usually seen as docile animals, are depicted here as fierce attackers, swooping down upon the besieged women with menacing intent. Their wings outstretched and beaks open wide, these birds become formidable foes in this extraordinary battle for survival. "Besieged at Michaelmas" was originally published in The Graphic on September 30th, 1871. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly harmless beings can become threats when circumstances change. This engraving is part of the Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection held within a private collection. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are transported to a time where danger lurked around every corner – even from above. It reminds us to never underestimate our surroundings or those who inhabit them; for sometimes it is the most unexpected adversaries that pose the greatest threat.
