EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Margaret of Anjou meeting the benevolent Robber" we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The artist, John Leech, skillfully captures the essence of this encounter between Margaret of Anjou and a compassionate robber during the 19th century. Margaret of Anjou, known for her role as Queen Consort to Henry VI, is depicted with grace and poise. Her regal presence contrasts beautifully with the humble figure of the benevolent robber who stands before her. This unexpected meeting showcases an intriguing blend of power dynamics and human connection. The monochrome engraving adds depth to the scene, emphasizing both its historical significance and artistic brilliance. Through his satirical approach, Leech manages to infuse humor into this otherwise serious encounter. This image not only highlights England's rich heritage but also explores timeless themes such as justice, compassion, and unlikely alliances. It serves as a reminder that even in times when lawlessness prevails, acts of kindness can bridge divides. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Gilbert A A Beckett's "The Comic History of England" we are reminded that history is not just about monarchs and wars; it is also shaped by ordinary people whose stories deserve recognition.
