Original Vintage Travel Poster Hastings St Leonards EA Cox Sussex Soldier Battle

About the Item

Original vintage travel poster for the historical South Coast towns of Hastings & St Leonards in Sussex featuring stunning artwork by the British painter Elijah Albert Cox (1876-1955) depicting arrows shooting at an English soldier in full armour drawing a sword and holding a shield with a red lion on it, a blooming flower tree in the foreground and flag behind him with a view of the city by the sea and castle on top of the hill in the background, all set against a bright background with the title text on the black border below. Part of the 11th century Norman Conquest of England, the Battle of Hastings in October 1066 between the Norman French army led by William the Duke of Normandy and the English army led by the Anglo-Saxon King Harold Godwinson resulted in the death of King Harold and William the Conqueror being crowned King of England in December 1066. Built by William, Hastings Castle overlooks the English Channel and has been in ruins (caused by storms and attacks) since 1399. Good condition, restored tears, restored creasing, restored folds, backed on linen.
