EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a damaged statue of the legendary William of Normandy, also known as William I of England or "the Conqueror". The statue is seen standing proudly against a pillar in St Etienne, Caen - the very abbey that he founded and where he was laid to rest. The engraving on this print beautifully captures the essence of this historical figure who left an indelible mark on British history. William's reign spanned from 1027 to 1087, and his significance cannot be overstated. As the leader responsible for the Norman conquest of England in 1066, he forever altered the course of both English and French history. This damaged statue serves as a poignant reminder of his enduring legacy. The image transports us back in time, evoking thoughts about royalty, power, and medieval Europe. It symbolizes not only William's connection to Britain but also his ties to France as Duke of Normandy. Despite its state of disrepair, this statue still exudes an air of regality and commands attention. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded that even great figures like William were subject to the passage of time and decay. Nevertheless, their impact remains etched into our collective memory. This print allows us to appreciate both the physical beauty captured within it and reflect upon how history shapes our present-day understanding.
