EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "William of Cloudesly" takes us on a journey back in time to the enchanting world of ballads and archery. Captured by John Gilbert, a renowned artist from the 19th century, this image is part of a private collection that has been preserved for generations. The scene depicted showcases William of Cloudesly, a legendary figure known for his remarkable skills with the longbow. Standing near an arched window, he holds his bow and arrow with utmost precision and focus. Dressed in fur attire that exudes an air of old-world charm, William embodies the spirit of bravery and resilience celebrated in traditional ballads. As we gaze at this print, we are transported to an era where archery was not merely a sport but also a vital defensive weapon used by infantry. The sight of children surrounding William adds an element of innocence and curiosity to the composition. Their wide-eyed fascination reflects their admiration for this skilled marksman. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this moment from history through Fine Art Finder. This photograph serves as both a visual delight and educational tool for those interested in exploring ancient weaponry and folklore traditions.
