EDITORS COMMENTS
This copper engraving from the 18th century depicts a pivotal moment in English history - the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. The image showcases the coronation of King Henry VII, formerly known as the Earl of Richmond, who emerged victorious on that fateful day. As he stands amidst the field, surrounded by his loyal troops and noble men, an air of triumph and anticipation fills the scene. The fallen crown of King Richard III lies at Henry's feet, symbolizing not only his defeat but also marking a significant shift in power. With this simple act - placing Richard's crown upon his own head - Henry commences his reign as King Henry VII and ushers in a new era for England. The intricate details captured by this engraving transport viewers back to the Renaissance period. From the ornate armor worn by both sides to every blade of grass on that historic battleground, each element has been meticulously etched into copper with skillful precision. Bosworth Field itself is depicted as a sprawling landscape stretching towards South East England. The bugler blowing their horn adds an atmospheric touch to this dramatic scene, reminding us that war was once waged upon these very grounds. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of how one battle forever altered English history and set into motion events that would shape generations to come.
