EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Queen Margaret presenting her Son to a Robber for protection, after having been stripped of her jewels by other ruffians" transports us back to 18th-century England. The image showcases the resilience and determination of Queen Margaret as she confronts the harsh realities of life. In this historical scene, we witness Queen Margaret's desperate act of seeking protection for herself and her son. Having fallen victim to a group of ruthless thieves who have mercilessly taken away her precious jewels, she turns to an unlikely ally – a robber. With unwavering courage, she presents her vulnerable child to this stranger in hopes that he will shield them from further harm. The artist masterfully captures the tension and vulnerability in this moment through intricate details and expressive lines. We can almost feel Queen Margaret's anguish as she places her trust in someone society deems unworthy. This engraving serves as an illustration for Ashburton's History of England, offering viewers a glimpse into the tumultuous times that shaped English history. It reminds us that even those in positions of power are not immune to adversity and must sometimes make difficult choices for survival. Through its rich symbolism and powerful storytelling, this artwork invites us to reflect on themes such as sacrifice, resilience, and the lengths one would go to protect their loved ones.
