EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment, "The Remains of William the Conqueror refused Interment by Anselm Fitz Arthur". Taken in 1787, it depicts an intense scene inside a church in Caen, Basse Normandie. In the center of the frame stands Anselm Fitz Arthur, a bishop of Rouen, pointing assertively towards a book on the pulpit. His stern expression reveals his refusal to allow the interment of William the Conqueror's remains. The image exudes an atmosphere filled with religious symbolism and political tension. The man's authoritative stance reflects his unwavering commitment to upholding Christian principles and traditions. Meanwhile, scattered books and artifacts surrounding him hint at his deep knowledge and scholarly background. William I, also known as William the Conqueror or Duke of Normandy, was one of England's most influential figures during the eleventh century. This photograph encapsulates not only this pivotal moment but also highlights Britain's rich history and cultural heritage. Through its monochrome aesthetic, this print transports us back to eighteenth-century England when literature played a crucial role in shaping society's beliefs and values. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these historical events continue to captivate our imagination while urging us to reflect upon our own relationship with religion and power dynamics within society.
