"The Building of the New Castle on the Tyne, 1080", from a picture by W. B. Scott, 1865. Engraving of a painting. 'The scene is laid in front of the great door of the Keep...Outside the parapet wall...is a scaffold for the workmen, forming the foreground of the composition. The labourers raising the coping-stone...represent the Saxon or Danish natives forced to labour by their Norman invaders. The oldest of these has been a man of some rank, and bears his degradation proudly. Behind...stands the eldest son of the Conqueror, Robert, who is supposed to have been present during the building...The lady, who has been riding out with the Prince along with the others seen in the inclosure below, leans on his shoulder, entirely uninterested in the discussion...Within the bailey are tents for the sale of meat and drink, as was usual during the building of large edifices in the Middle Ages...The natives, crowding in to look at the Norman horses and riders, are rudely and unceremoniously repelled by the groom, carrying the wild geese shot by the party, and by the man-at-arms. Outside, a jongler amuses the crowd...On the other side of the river, Gatehead is in ruins'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

Here's a possible caption for your photo print:
**The Building of New Castle on the Tyne, 1080**
This engraving, created in 1865 by artist W.B. Scott and reproduced here through the skillful work of photographer Horace Harral, offers a glimpse into the tumultuous era when Norman invaders conquered England.
In this vivid scene, laborers from Saxon or Danish descent are forced to construct New Castle on the Tyne under the watchful eye of Robert, eldest son of William the Conqueror. The proud old warrior bears his new status with dignity, while a lady leans casually against her companion's shoulder, seemingly uninterested in the construction process.
In contrast to their Norman overlords, these native workers are relegated to menial tasks and treated roughly by guardsmen as they attempt to gaze upon the majestic horses and riders. Meanwhile, outside the bailey walls, vendors peddle meat and drink while a jongler entertains the crowd with his lively juggling routine.
The ruins of Gatehead can be seen across the river, serving as a poignant reminder of the destruction wrought by war. This powerful image not only captures an important moment in history but also highlights the stark contrasts between conquerors and conquered during this pivotal era.
