EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Anlaf entering the Humber AD 937" takes us on a journey back in time to witness a significant moment in history. Created by Henry Marriott Paget, this print showcases his exceptional talent for capturing the essence of an era. In this scene, we are transported to the year 937 when Anlaf and his Danish fleet sailed into the Humber River. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he depicts every element with precision - from the intricate costumes worn by soldiers to the majestic longships that dominate the waters. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as English soldiers stand guard along the riverbanks, ready to defend their land against this formidable invasion force. This image not only highlights Anlaf's audacious attempt but also sheds light on Athelstan's reign and its significance in English history. Paget skillfully brings together historical accuracy and artistic flair in this engraving originally published in Cassells History of England. It serves as a testament to his mastery of technique and ability to transport viewers through time. As we gaze upon this print, we cannot help but be captivated by its rich narrative and immersive details. It reminds us of how art can serve as a powerful medium for preserving our past and igniting our imagination about ancient civilizations and pivotal moments that shaped our world today.
