EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Paying rent in Saxon times, 1920s" takes us on a journey back to the medieval era. Created by Ernest Prater, an esteemed artist of his time, this piece offers a glimpse into the historical practice of paying rent during the Saxon period. The image showcases a scene filled with rich details and intricate engravings. In the foreground, we see a group of Saxons gathered around their landlord, who stands tall and authoritative. The tenants are depicted handing over various forms of payment - sacks of grain, livestock, and even coins - as they fulfill their obligations. Prater's attention to detail is remarkable; every figure is meticulously rendered with expressive faces that convey both apprehension and respect towards their feudal lord. The composition exudes authenticity through its accurate portrayal of clothing styles and architectural elements typical for that era. This lithograph print was originally featured in Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation publication – an educational resource aimed at bringing history alive for readers. Its inclusion in this collection speaks volumes about its significance as an artistic representation of our cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection today, it serves as a reminder not only of how far society has progressed but also how important it is to honor our past by preserving such valuable glimpses into history.
