EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting and powerful print captures a pivotal moment in British history - the aftermath of the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, where King Richard III met his tragic end. The image shows Richard's lifeless body being solemnly carried on horseback, a stark reminder of the brutality and violence of medieval warfare.
The scene is both poignant and chilling, as we witness the fallen king being transported from the battlefield to his final resting place. His once regal attire now torn and bloodied, serving as a grim testament to the harsh realities of war.
Richard III's death marked the end of an era for British royalty, as well as ushering in a new chapter in English history with the beginning of the Tudor dynasty. This photograph serves as a somber reminder of how power can be fleeting and how even kings are not immune to fate.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us and how their actions continue to shape our world today. It is through images like these that we can connect with our past and gain a deeper understanding of where we come from.
