EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical lithograph print, titled "Hengist and Horsa. A. D. 457" captures a humorous moment from English history with a satirical twist. Created by Arthur Moreland in the early 20th century, this artwork is part of the private collection. The image depicts the legendary figures of Hengist and Horsa, who were said to be brothers and leaders of the first Anglo-Saxon invaders in England during the year 457 AD. In this whimsical illustration for Humors of History, we see them portrayed as caricatures, adding an element of visual comedy to their story. With its vivid colors and exaggerated features, this cartoon-like drawing brings out the humor in historical events. The artist's intention seems to be poking fun at both English history and German culture through satire. It playfully highlights how these two figures from Germany played a significant role in shaping England's destiny. This print not only provides entertainment but also offers insights into how historical narratives can be reimagined through art. By blending elements of humor with well-known historical characters like Hengist and Horsa, Moreland invites viewers to engage with history in a lighthearted manner. Overall, this delightful lithograph serves as a reminder that even serious subjects like ancient invasions can be approached with levity while still appreciating their significance within our shared cultural heritage.
