EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic Battle of Tewkesbury, a pivotal event during the Wars of the Roses in 1471. The image, dating back to approximately 1850, is a vibrant color plate from Pictures of English History published by George Routledge & Sons. It depicts a scene filled with action and intensity. In this snapshot from the fifteenth century, we witness an array of elements that transport us back in time. Armored soldiers on horseback engage in fierce combat while brandishing swords and lances. Banners flutter proudly in the wind as flags representing both Lancastrian and Yorkist factions wave high above them. The central figures are Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales, and Richard III, King of England. They embody power and authority as they lead their respective forces into battle. Their regal presence is accentuated by crowns adorning their heads. The location itself holds historical significance - Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire - where this decisive clash took place between two rival royal houses vying for control over England's throne. This print captures not only the physicality but also the essence of medieval warfare during this tumultuous period known as the Wars of Roses. It serves as a visual reminder that history is shaped by conflict and individuals who fought valiantly for their beliefs and ambitions.
