The Romans in Britain, c1884
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the ancient times when Julius Caesar led the first Roman landings on British soil. Created by the talented artist Thomas Strong Seccombe, this artwork captures the essence of history and brings it to life with vibrant colors and comical sketches. In this scene, we witness a lively gathering in the countryside as Romans and Britons interact. Men, women, boys, and girls are engaged in various activities - some playing musical instruments while others watch with amusement. Geese roam freely around them, adding a touch of whimsy to the setting. Seccombe's attention to detail is evident as he depicts soldiers marching in formation towards their arrival point. The band plays energetically, creating an atmosphere of anticipation for what lies ahead. The artist skillfully portrays both the pompous nature of conquest and the lightheartedness found amidst historical events. This 19th-century engraving not only showcases Seccombe's artistic talent but also serves as a window into an important period in history. It reminds us of Rome's ambitious expansion across Europe and its impact on distant lands like Britain. As we admire this remarkable piece from "Comic Sketches from English History" we are reminded of Major Thomas Strong Seccombe's contribution to preserving historical narratives through artistry. This print serves as a testament to his dedication to capturing moments that educate and entertain viewers for generations to come.
