EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two heralds from Robert denounce Rufus, 1094" takes us back in time to a significant moment in British history. Illustrated by Ernest Prater around the early 1920s, this lithograph is part of Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation collection. The image depicts a dramatic scene where two heralds stand before King William II, also known as William Rufus, while denouncing him on behalf of his brother Robert, Duke of Normandy. The year was 1094, and tensions were high as rebellion brewed within the kingdom. Intriguingly captured by Prater's skilled hand, we witness the intense expressions on each character's face. The king appears defiant yet intrigued by his brother's messengers. The heralds themselves exude confidence and determination as they deliver their message to the ruler. This historical event marked a turning point in England's monarchy and power struggles between siblings. It showcases not only political intrigue but also highlights the complexities of familial relationships during that era. Preserved within a private collection today, this lithograph offers us an opportunity to delve into Britain's rich past through artistry and storytelling. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded of how images can transport us across centuries and immerse us in pivotal moments that have shaped our world today.
