EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Will you follow me, men?, c61 AD" artist As Forrest beautifully captures a pivotal moment in history. The image depicts the iconic British Queen Boudicca of the Iceni tribe rallying her soldiers to fight against the Romans. This powerful illustration was originally featured in H E Marshall's book, Our Island Story, published in 1905. The scene is filled with intensity and determination as Boudicca stands tall amidst her army, brandishing a spear and dagger. Her resolute gaze and commanding presence inspire courage among her warriors who eagerly listen to her impassioned speech. The vibrant colors bring life to this ancient tale of bravery and resistance. It is important to note that while this artwork portrays a significant event from Roman Britain's past, it should be acknowledged that H E Marshall's book presented a biased perspective favoring British history. Nevertheless, As Forrest skillfully captures the spirit of defiance and patriotism associated with Queen Boudicca's legacy. This striking portrayal invites viewers into an era long gone but not forgotten – an era defined by invasion, warfare, and unwavering bravery. It serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit that can arise when faced with adversity and oppression. As we admire this remarkable piece by As Forrest, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's extraordinary leadership during a tumultuous period in England's rich history.
