1480s 1485 Armour Bosworth Ermine Feather Horseback Scrap 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing theatre scrap, depicting King Richard III on horseback during the Battle of Bosworth in 1485, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich history of English theatre. Dated to the 19th century, this vintage print showcases the dramatic intensity and visual storytelling that has long been a hallmark of live performance. King Richard III, a notorious and complex historical figure, is portrayed here in full regalia, complete with ermine-trimmed cloak, golden crown adorned with blue and orange feathers, and ornate armor. His steed, equally impressive, is outfitted with a red and yellow banner, adding a vibrant splash of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The battle itself rages on in the background, with soldiers clashing in a chaotic melee, their swords raised high in a frenzy of steel and fury. The use of contrasting colors – red, blue, gold, and yellow – adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing the sense of action and movement. This theatre scrap, a precious relic from the 15th century, offers a tantalizing glimpse into the world of Elizabethan and Jacobean theatre, where history and mythology intertwined to create unforgettable stories that continue to captivate audiences to this day. The intricate details of the costumes, armor, and horses, as well as the raw energy of the battle scene, serve as a testament to the enduring power of live performance and the human spirit.
