EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving depicts a pivotal moment in English history as actors bring to life the legendary Battle of Bosworth Field. Henry Tudor, played by an actor in a gold-trimmed, blue cloak and a cloth-of-gold coat of arms adorned with the white rose of York, engages King Richard III, dressed in a red cloak and a dragon emblem, on horseback. The stage is set with knights in armor, their shields bearing the blazons of their respective houses, as they await their cue in the wings. The theatre audience, dressed in Victorian attire, watches intently from the boxes, their expressions a mix of excitement and anticipation. This scene is taken from Gilbert Abbott A Beckett's Comic History of England, published by Bradbury, Agnew & Co. in London in 1880. The illustration, created by the renowned caricaturist John Leech, masterfully captures the spirit of the production with its humorous and camp portrayal of historical figures. The English bulldog and French poodle emblems on the banners add a whimsical touch to the otherwise serious battle scene. The Battle of Bosworth Field, fought on August 22, 1520, marked the end of the Wars of the Roses and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty in England. This theatrical representation of the meeting between Henry Tudor and King Richard III is a testament to the enduring fascination with English history and the power of the stage to bring the past to life.
