EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, Rowena gracefully enters the room, clutching a magnificent golden cup. Created in 1905 by As Forrest, this artwork depicts an enchanting scene from the year 430 AD. The illustration is derived from H E Marshall's book "Our Island Story" published by T C & E C Jack Ltd in London and Edinburgh. Rowena, daughter of Hengist, radiates elegance as she presents wine to Vortigern, the tribal king of the Britons. This portrayal showcases a pivotal moment where history intertwines with mythology. However, it is important to note that "Our Island Story" offered a biased and pro-British perspective on historical events. The image captures the essence of a royal banquet during ancient times - vibrant colors fill the frame while delectable food adorns tables nearby. Rowena's presence exudes femininity and allure as she engages in seductive gestures towards King Vortigern. As we delve into this piece of artistry, we are transported back to fifth-century England - an era steeped in tradition and intrigue. The concept of seduction permeates throughout the composition as Rowena tempts both our senses and those of King Vortigern. This photograph print serves as a visual time capsule from early 20th-century Britain; it encapsulates not only artistic brilliance but also reflects societal perceptions prevalent at that time. Let us appreciate As Forrest's skillful craftsmanship alongside H E Marshall's storytelling prowess through this
