EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Queen Margaret imploring the protection of a Robber after the battle of Hexham" transports us back to a pivotal moment in English history. Created by an anonymous 19th-century English artist, this print captures the essence of desperation and vulnerability. The scene depicts Queen Margaret, wife of King Henry VI, seeking refuge from a notorious robber following her defeat at the Battle of Hexham. With her regal attire torn and disheveled, she kneels before him, imploring for his mercy and protection. The contrast between their positions symbolizes the fall from grace experienced by the queen as she finds herself at the mercy of an outlaw. This engraving was originally commissioned as an illustration for George Courtney Lyttleton's "The History of England" published in 1805. It serves as a powerful visual representation of one chapter in England's tumultuous past. Through intricate details and masterful technique, this artwork not only showcases historical events but also evokes emotions within its viewers. It reminds us that even those who hold great power can be reduced to vulnerability during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported to an era where battles were fought on English soil and queens sought shelter from unlikely sources. It is a testament to both human resilience and our capacity for empathy – qualities that transcend time and place.
