EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting print captures a pivotal moment in British history - the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066. In this scene, King Harold Godwinson is fatally wounded by an arrow through his eye, symbolizing the end of his reign and the beginning of William the Conqueror's rule.
The image depicts Harold bravely facing William's army as they stand opposite him, ready for battle. The flag of England flies proudly in the background, a stark contrast to the chaos and violence unfolding on the battlefield.
Harold's death marked a turning point in British history, leading to Norman conquest and forever changing the course of events in Britain. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought for power and control during this tumultuous time.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to that fateful day when Harold fell in battle, his fate sealed by an arrow through his eye. It is a chilling reminder of how quickly fortunes can change on the battlefield and how one moment can alter the course of history forever.
