The image captures a comical moment as Longshanks, a character from Bill Nye's History of England, learns about the passing of his father. Created by the American School, this print is part of a private collection. The scene is filled with amusing details that add to the overall comedic effect. Longshanks' exaggerated facial expression perfectly conveys his shock and disbelief upon receiving such grave news.

As we delve into English history through this lighthearted lens, it becomes clear that even in times of sorrow, there is room for laughter. This engraving reminds us that humor can be found in unexpected places and serves as an entertaining commentary on historical events.
