EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures the dramatic "Flight of Matilda from Oxford Castle" during the autumn of 1142. Illustrated by Charles Ricketts, this engraving showcases a pivotal moment in history when Empress Matilda (c. 1102-67) escaped through the snow-covered landscape. The image depicts a female ruler disguised as a knight, donning a regal cape to conceal her true identity. The snowy backdrop adds an air of mystery and danger to the scene, emphasizing the treacherous conditions under which Matilda made her escape. As she flees from the besieged castle, one can almost feel the urgency and determination emanating from her figure. This artwork is part of Cassell's Illustrated History of England collection and is housed in a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. It offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary chapter in British history, showcasing both bravery and cunning amidst political turmoil. Matilda's escape symbolizes resilience and defiance against all odds, highlighting her unwavering commitment to claim her rightful place on England's throne. This historic event played a significant role in shaping not only Matilda's legacy but also that of England itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the courage and resourcefulness displayed by Empress Matilda during this daring winter escape from Oxford Castle.
