The International Exhibition: stained-glass window by Messrs. Chance Brothers... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: stained-glass window by Messrs. Chance Brothers, of Birmingham: "Robin Hood's Last Shot", 1862. Designed by Sebastian Evans. Robin, sorestricken with fever, betook himself...to the Prioress of Kirkleys to be let blood...[She] thought fit to bleed Robin to death...[Robin asked] Little John to give him his bow and arrow...bidding Little John bury him wherever he finds the arrow-" And straightway thereafter he died."...The moment chosen by the artist is that when Robin is just drawing his last arrow, the whole energies of the dying man gathered up for this last trial of his strength. Little John is seen gazing wistfully out of the window in the direction which the arrow is to take, while the amiable Prioress is seen...pointing out to Sir Roger of Doncaster the spot in the arm where she has bled her kinsman...The basin and lancet by the side of Robin; the story of Jael and Sisera, indicated on the tapestry at the back of the Prioress...the figure of St. Sebastain wounded with arrows, which finds a place above one of the shafts (a reference both to the name of the artist and the subject he treats), are all contrived so as to heighten the effect of the story told in the principal figures'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
