EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Lambert Simnel carried through Dublin on the shoulders of Great Darcy" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene that unfolded during Lambert Simnel's rise to prominence. Intriguingly, we witness Simnel being triumphantly carried through the bustling streets of Dublin on the sturdy shoulders of Great Darcy. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as crowds gather to catch a glimpse of this extraordinary spectacle. The historical context behind this image adds depth and intrigue. Lambert Simnel was an imposter who claimed to be Edward Plantagenet, Earl of Warwick during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses era. This audacious act challenged Henry VII's legitimacy as king and sparked political unrest throughout England and Ireland. The skillful execution of this engraving allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and its historical significance. Every detail has been meticulously rendered, from the expressions on people's faces to their period costumes, transporting us back in time. This particular print was featured in Chatterbox magazine in 1890, showcasing its enduring appeal even decades after it was created. Now part of a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this artwork invites viewers to reflect upon a pivotal moment when ambition clashed with reality amidst the backdrop of medieval Dublin.
