EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of Queen Margaret of Anjou being taken prisoner after the Battle of Tewkesbury. The image, originally featured in Cassells History of the British People published by the Waverley Book Company Limited around 1940, showcases a color lithograph created by renowned artist Sir John Gilbert. In this historical masterpiece, we witness Queen Margaret's resolute demeanor amidst her capture. Her regal presence is juxtaposed against the backdrop of chaos and conflict that surrounds her. The vibrant colors bring to life every intricate detail of her elaborate costume, emphasizing her status as a powerful figure in English history. The significance of this event cannot be understated; it marked a turning point in British history and solidified King Edward IV's reign over England. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of Queen Margaret's struggle but also highlights the bravery and resilience she displayed during these tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to an era where battles were fought for power and kingdoms hung in balance. It is through images like these that we can truly appreciate the rich tapestry woven by our ancestors – their triumphs, sacrifices, and unwavering spirit forever imprinted on our collective memory.
