EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Statue of William the Conqueror in Falaise, taken in 1890. The bronze statue, created by French sculptor Louis Rochet, stands proudly in the birthplace of William the Conqueror himself. This historical masterpiece pays homage to the first Norman King of England, who reigned from 1066 until his death in 1087. The image captures a moment frozen in time - an equestrian figure with its arm raised high, holding a banner that flutters gracefully against the backdrop of a clear day. The statue exudes power and authority as it gestures towards something unseen. Clad in armor and mounted on a fearsome horse, this depiction portrays King William I as both majestic and formidable. The photograph's monochrome composition adds depth to its historical significance, transporting us back to the eleventh century when this great monarch ruled over England. It is evident that every detail has been carefully crafted by Rochet to capture not only William's physical likeness but also his commanding presence. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork through time's lens, we are reminded of William's extraordinary accomplishment - conquering England and forever shaping its history. This print serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and stands as a symbol of pride for both France and England alike.
