EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Hubert de Burgh urging the Garrison of Dover to Resist the landing of the French, 1217" transports us back to a pivotal moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene from the past with remarkable detail and emotion. In this dramatic depiction, Hubert de Burgh stands tall and resolute as he addresses the garrison of Dover. His commanding presence and passionate gestures convey his urgent plea for resistance against an impending French invasion in 1217. The tension is palpable as soldiers listen intently, their faces etched with determination and apprehension. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, highlighting De Burgh's heroic stance amidst a backdrop of towering cliffs overlooking turbulent waters. This image serves as a powerful reminder of England's resilience during times of adversity.
