EDITORS COMMENTS
Coronation of Harold, (1931) - A Glimpse into the Last Days of Anglo-Saxon Rule". This print captures a significant moment in English history - the coronation of Harold Godwinson, the last crowned Anglo-Saxon king. Painted by Charles Henry Bourne Quennell as part of "A History of Everyday Things in England" this artwork transports us back to the 11th century. Harold Godwinson's reign was short-lived but marked with great turmoil. In 1066, he valiantly fought against William the Conqueror and his Norman invaders at the Battle of Hastings. Unfortunately, it was here that King Harold met his tragic demise. The image showcases a regal scene from an era long gone. The artist skillfully depicts a grand court ceremony where King Harold II is being crowned amidst an aura of majesty and solemnity. Surrounding him are members of nobility and loyal subjects who have gathered to witness this historic event. Through this monochrome masterpiece, we catch a glimpse into medieval England - its people, customs, and royal traditions. Marjorie and C. D. B Quennell's meticulous research brings forth not only historical accuracy but also an appreciation for everyday life during these times. As we admire this remarkable piece, let us remember King Harold Godwinson's bravery and sacrifice while reflecting on how our nation has evolved over centuries under different rulers. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that history shapes our present reality in profound ways.
