EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Yorkist cannons and archers at Tewkesbury" transports us back to a defining moment in English history. Depicting the Battle of Tewkesbury that took place on 4 May 1471, this print captures the intensity and drama of one phase of the Wars of the Roses. In this scene, we witness the clash between Lancastrian forces led by Margaret of Anjou and her son Edward of Westminster against the Yorkist army commanded by King Edward IV. The composition showcases a formidable display of military might with soldiers clad in armor, cavalry charging forward, and cannons ready for action. The artist Arthur Twidle masterfully conveys both the chaos and precision inherent in battle. His attention to detail is evident as he portrays each soldier engaged in their respective roles – archers preparing to release their arrows while cannoneers stand poised to unleash devastating firepower upon their adversaries. This lithograph not only serves as a historical record but also encapsulates the spirit of conflict during this tumultuous period. It reminds us how dynastic rivalries fueled centuries-long wars that shaped England's destiny. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from our private collection, we are reminded that it was through battles like these that nations were forged and destinies decided. This print stands as a testament to human resilience amidst strife and offers an opportunity for reflection on our shared past.
