EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Treaty of Hengist and Horsa with Vortigern AD 600" captures a pivotal moment in English history. The image showcases a scene from the past, depicting ships anchored along the coastline as soldiers donning elaborate costumes stand guard. Created by Francois Edouard Zier, this print offers a glimpse into an alliance formed between Hengist and Horsa, leaders of the Jutes and Saxons respectively, with Vortigern in AD 600. The composition exudes a sense of power and intrigue as these historical figures negotiate their terms. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched on the engraving brings forth intricate depictions of weaponry held by soldiers standing tall against the backdrop of Kent's picturesque landscape. Zier's lithograph transports us back in time to witness this significant event that shaped English history. It serves as a reminder of how alliances were forged amidst turbulent times when kingdoms sought strength through unity. Displayed within private collections for years, this print is reminiscent of Cassell's History of England published circa 1920. Its timeless quality allows us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its historical significance. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded that even centuries later, it continues to captivate our imagination and ignite our curiosity about ancient civilizations and their enduring legacies.
