EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "How Hereward got the rest of his souls price" transports us back to the 11th century, immersing us in the legendary tale of Hereward the Wake. This illustration, engraved by C. G. Lewis and published in Charles Kingsley's book "Hereward the Great" in 1870, captures a pivotal moment in this rebel leader's story. In this scene, we witness Hereward valiantly fighting against Norman soldiers who seek to conquer his land. Despite being wounded and outnumbered, he displays unwavering determination as he wields his spear with precision and skill. The intensity of battle is palpable through every stroke of Henry Courtney Selous' engraving. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of Hereward's resistance against oppression and his refusal to bow down to foreign invaders. His bravery serves as an inspiration for all those who strive for freedom and justice. This image also offers a glimpse into medical practices during that era. We see Hereward clutching his wounded limb while surrounded by spears piercing through shields—an indication of the harsh realities faced on the battlefield. It prompts contemplation on how far medical science has progressed since then. Through its intricate details and historical significance, this print invites us to delve deeper into both mythological legends and our own understanding of human resilience throughout history.
