EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the defiant spirit of Jack Cade, an English rebel of Irish descent who led the Kentish Rebellion during the tumultuous reign of Henry VI. In a bold move, Cade declared himself the Lord of London and managed to hold the city for about two days before his eventual downfall.
The image depicts Cade's daring attempt to escape to the coast in Sussex, where he met his tragic end. Despite his ultimate fate, this engraving from the early 19th century immortalizes Cade as a symbol of resistance and defiance against authority.
Copperplate engravings like this one serve as powerful reminders of historical figures who dared to challenge the status quo and fight for their beliefs. The black and white imagery adds a sense of gravitas to Cade's story, highlighting the intensity and drama surrounding his rebellion.
As we gaze upon this striking portrayal of Jack Cade, we are reminded of the complexities and contradictions inherent in acts of rebellion. His legacy lives on through images like these, inspiring future generations to question authority and stand up for what they believe in.
