EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Richard III, the last Yorkist king of England, who reigned from 1483 until his defeat at the Battle of Bosworth Field on August 22,1485. The wood engraving, dating back to around 1900, beautifully captures this pivotal moment in British history. Richard III's reign marked the culmination of the Wars of the Roses, a brutal and protracted civil war between two rival branches of English royalty: the House of Lancaster and the House of York. Despite his valiant efforts on the battlefield, Richard ultimately lost his crown to Henry Tudor (later known as Henry VII), whose victory at Bosworth Field brought an end to this tumultuous period. The intricately detailed engraving highlights Richard III's regal presence as he stands amidst a field strewn with fallen soldiers and remnants of battle. His expression reflects both determination and resignation in equal measure—a poignant reminder that even kings are not immune to fate's capricious hand. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are transported back in time to witness a crucial turning point in English history. It serves as a testament to both Richard III's legacy as well as the enduring impact of political strife on nations throughout centuries. This photograph is not just an artistic masterpiece but also a window into our collective past—a reminder that even great rulers can be swept away by forces beyond their control.
