EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the solemn moment when the body of King Richard III is carried from the field of his defeat at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases a pivotal event in British history. The scene depicts a somber procession as soldiers carefully transport King Richard III's lifeless body away from the battlefield. The king's life was tragically cut short during this decisive confrontation, marking the end of England's Plantagenet dynasty and ushering in a new era under Henry VII. The artist skillfully portrays both human and equine subjects with intricate detail. Horses, racehorses, and ponies stand alongside their fallen riders, emphasizing not only the loss of life but also highlighting the crucial role animals played on this historic day. This powerful illustration originally appeared in "A Series of Prints of English History" by Mrs Trimmer published in 1828. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great rulers are mortal and subject to defeat. As we gaze upon this print today, it transports us back to this significant moment in time – an enduring testament to both triumph and tragedy on one fateful battlefield.
