EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Coronation of Henry VII on the Field of Battle. Created by artist John Leech in 1860, this caricature portrays King Henry VII (1457-1509) during his decisive victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. This battle marked a significant turning point in the Wars of the Roses, as it led to Henry's ascension to the throne and established the Tudor dynasty. The comical depiction adds a touch of humor to this historical event, showcasing Leech's satirical style. The engraving is part of "The Comic History of England" series by Gilbert A. Beckett, which aimed to entertain readers with humorous illustrations while educating them about English history. In this monochrome artwork, we see Henry VII wearing his crown and holding a scepter as he stands triumphantly on the battlefield. The scene exudes a sense of power and authority, emphasizing Henry's royal status as he assumes control over England. This print serves as both an artistic representation and a historical document that immortalizes an important moment in English history. It reminds us not only of King Henry VII's victory but also highlights how art can be used to convey complex events through satire and humor.
