EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Micklegate Bar, York, with the arrival of a Royalist Baggage-Train" takes us back to 19th century England. The image showcases Micklegate Bar, one of the four principal gateways into the city of York. Standing tall and imposing, this fortified entrance is brought to life by the hustle and bustle surrounding it. Intriguingly, at its forefront lies a scene that transports us straight into history: the arrival of a Royalist Baggage-Train. This momentous event captures an important chapter in English history when political tensions ran high during the Civil War era. The artist's attention to detail allows us to witness every aspect of this historical tableau. We see soldiers clad in royalist regalia unloading their precious cargo from horse-drawn carriages while onlookers gather around curiously. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as people eagerly await what unfolds next. This engraving was originally created for The Penny Magazine in 1839 and has since become an invaluable piece within private collections. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Elgar Collection further solidifies its significance as a testament to our rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of the architectural grandeur but also of the intricate stories woven within these historical walls. It serves as a reminder that art has always been instrumental in preserving our past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
