EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print captures a significant moment in English history, showcasing Henry VII, the formidable King of England, alongside a billman. The image transports us back to the 15th century, during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses era. Henry VII ascended to power in 1485 after his decisive victory over Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth Field. This triumph marked the end of this bitter conflict and laid the foundation for his Tudor dynasty. Clad in regal attire with an ornate plumed helmet, Henry exudes authority and strength as he sits atop his majestic horse. Standing beside him is a billman, armed with a long-handled weapon known as a bill. This infantry soldier represents the common man who fought valiantly alongside their king during times of war. Their presence serves as a reminder that it was not just nobility who shaped history but also ordinary individuals who played crucial roles on battlefields. The artist's attention to detail brings this historical scene to life; from intricate armor designs to vibrant colors that evoke authenticity. Samuel Rush Mayrick's lithograph beautifully captures both majesty and grit within this composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time - witnessing an iconic monarch whose reign left an indelible mark on British history. It serves as a testament to bravery and resilience amidst turbulent times while honoring those who fought tirelessly for their country's future.
