The Daemon of evil, with his fierce ravening, greedily grasped them, 1910. In this lithograph by John Henry Frederick Bacon, we are transported to the heroic world of Beowulf, the legendary hero of the Geats. As depicted in MI Ebbutt's Hero Myths and Legends of the British Race, this print captures a pivotal moment as Beowulf faces his first battle against an unimaginable monster. The black and white composition adds to the intensity and drama of the scene. The hideous demon looms over Beowulf, its monstrous form exuding malevolence and power. With every sinewy muscle tensed and eyes ablaze with determination, our hero fearlessly confronts this embodiment of evil. Bacon's attention to detail is remarkable; from the intricate lines that define each character's features to their expressive facial expressions that convey both terror and bravery. We can almost feel Beowulf's grip tightening around his weapon as he prepares for combat. This lithograph not only showcases Bacon's artistic skill but also serves as a visual reminder of England's rich literary heritage. It brings to life one of Britain's most cherished tales while capturing the essence of heroism in its purest form. As we gaze upon this historic image from 1910s Anglo-Saxon literature, we cannot help but be captivated by its timeless allure. It stands as a testament to human courage in the face of darkness – a reminder that heroes like
