EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history as King Henry VI is taken to the Battle of Barnet in 1471. Illustrated by John Henry Amshewitz for Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, c. 1923, this lithograph showcases the grandeur and drama of this significant event. Mounted on a majestic white horse, King Henry VI rides confidently amidst a sea of flags and an eager crowd. The image depicts the power struggle between the rival houses of Lancaster and York during the Wars of the Roses. As one can imagine, tension fills the air as these two factions clash for control over England. The composition beautifully portrays both regality and vulnerability as King Henry VI leads his troops into battle. His presence exudes authority while also revealing his precarious position on horseback amidst such chaos. Amshewitz's attention to detail brings life to every element within this scene - from intricate flag designs representing each house to meticulously rendered expressions on faces within the crowd. This engraving truly transports viewers back in time, allowing them to witness firsthand this historic procession. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded not only of England's turbulent past but also its enduring spirit and resilience throughout centuries of conflict.
