EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment - the first meeting of British King Vortigern with the two Saxon Chiefs Hengist and Horsa. Taken in the Isle of Thanet, England, around 1787, this image is a testament to the rich history and legends that have shaped Britain. In this scene, we see King Vortigern standing tall and regal, surrounded by his loyal subjects. The towering tree behind them symbolizes strength and longevity, reflecting the enduring nature of their kingdom. The men are dressed in traditional attire, exuding an air of authority and power. The composition is framed beautifully within a rustic border, reminiscent of ancient literature or royal manuscripts. This print transports us back to the 5th century when these legendary figures played pivotal roles in shaping Anglo-Saxon Britain. George Frederick Raymond's meticulous attention to detail brings this historic event to life. His portrayal captures not only the physical appearance but also conveys the complex dynamics between these influential characters. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of how history intertwines with myth and legend.
