EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in English history, depicting the Battle of Blore Heath during the War of the Roses. The expertly crafted reconstruction drawing by Peter Dunn transports us back to 23rd September 1459, where Lancastrian forces are seen engaging in a disastrous charge against their Yorkist adversaries. The scene is filled with intense action and tension as armored soldiers clash amidst a sprawling medieval battlefield. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable, showcasing intricate armor and weaponry that were emblematic of this era. Mounted on powerful steeds, both sides fiercely fight for control over Staffordshire. The significance of this battle cannot be overstated; it marked one of the earliest major conflicts between the House of Lancaster and the House of York. As we gaze upon this graphic illustration, we can almost hear the thundering hooves and feel the palpable fear gripping each soldier's heart. Peter Dunn's artistic prowess breathes life into this historical event, allowing us to visualize an important chapter in England's past. It serves as a reminder that even within chaos and destruction lie stories waiting to be told. This print stands not only as a testament to our shared heritage but also as an homage to those who fought valiantly for their respective houses during these tumultuous times.
