EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving depicts Oswald, the King of Northumberland, leading his army in the Battle of Maserfield while witnessing a miraculous event involving the Virgin Mary. The image is part of a collection called "The Regal and Ecclesiastical Antiquities of England" by Joseph Strutt, published in 1842. In this scene, Oswald stands tall and regal at the forefront of his troops. His presence exudes power and authority as he commands his soldiers with unwavering confidence. The vibrant colours bring life to the print, emphasizing the grandeur and importance of this historical moment. The Battle of Maserfield was a significant conflict that took place in ancient England. It is believed to have occurred around 642 AD between Oswald's forces and Penda, King of Mercia. This engraving captures not only the intensity of battle but also highlights an extraordinary occurrence witnessed by both armies: a miracle attributed to the intervention of the Virgin Mary. As rays from heaven illuminate her figure above them all, it becomes clear that faith played an essential role for those involved in this fierce clash. This portrayal serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and violence, divine intervention can offer hope and protection. Overall, this artwork provides us with a glimpse into history - showcasing both military prowess and religious devotion during medieval times in Europe.
