EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph from 1856 depicts William, Duke of Normandy, issuing orders for the construction of ships. The scene transports us back to the 11th century, where men can be seen diligently cutting down trees with axes and skilled carpenters are busy building magnificent vessels. In this historical moment captured by Charles Alfred Stothard and reproduced by William Mossman, we witness the sheer determination and meticulousness that went into creating these mighty ships. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every stroke of color brings life to the image. Men can be seen dragging boats towards the shore as they prepare for their next voyage. This artwork was originally commissioned for Rev. John Collingwood Bruce's book "The Bayeux Tapestry Elucidated" published in London in 1856. This piece not only showcases a significant event in history but also highlights the importance of naval power during that time period. It serves as a reminder of England's rich maritime heritage and its role as a dominant force on the seas. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this chromolithograph offers viewers a glimpse into an era long gone but still celebrated today. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance while honoring one man's vision to build a formidable fleet that would shape history forever.
