EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1821 showcases a mounted British warrior from the pre-Roman era. The intricate details of his attire and surroundings transport us back in time to an ancient world filled with tradition and culture. The warrior is adorned in a brazen helmet, symbolizing strength and resilience. He wears a mantell gedenawg, a shaggy cloak that adds an air of mystery to his appearance. His trousers and shoes provide practicality for battle, while he confidently carries a club as his weapon of choice. In the background, we catch a glimpse of the chapel nestled within the rock formations of Nottingham. This juxtaposition between nature's beauty and man-made structures reminds us of the harmonious coexistence between humans and their environment during this era. Handcoloured with meticulous detail by R. Havell, this aquatint engraving brings to life Charles Hamilton Smith's illustration from Samuel Meyrick's "Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands". It serves as both an educational tool for understanding historical clothing styles and as a testament to Britain's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to 19th-century Europe, where animals played an integral role in daily life. Horses stand alongside our warrior - majestic creatures that were not only symbols of power but also essential companions on long journeys or in times of war. This artwork captures not only one individual but also represents an entire population steeped in tradition and history. It serves as a reminder that our present is built upon the foundations laid by those who came before us – warriors who fought bravely for their land, their people, and their way of life.
