EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Odun, Earl of Devon taking the Danish Standard, 1773" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. The image depicts Odun, the Earl of Devon, bravely capturing the Danish Standard during a fierce battle. This historic event occurred in the 9th century when Odda, an esteemed ealdorman of Devon, led his West Saxon forces to victory against a Viking army commanded by Ubba at the Battle of Cynwit. The engraving beautifully captures the intensity and chaos of this pivotal moment. Odun stands tall amidst the battlefield with determination etched on his face as he holds high the captured banner. Surrounding him are fallen soldiers and wounded warriors who fought valiantly for their country's freedom. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and drama to this scene from England's past. The intricate details within each frame showcase James Taylor's skillful artistry while paying homage to Samuel Wale's original work. Displayed within Temple Sydney's comprehensive book "A New and Complete History of England" this print serves as both an educational tool and a visual representation of resistance against invasion. It reminds us that throughout history, brave individuals like Odun have stood up against adversity to protect their homeland. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time - witnessing not only a heroic act but also gaining insight into our rich Anglo-Saxon heritage.
