EDITORS COMMENTS
The Empress Matilda (1102-67) and the Queen of Stephen (engraving) captures a significant moment in English history. This photo print, taken from an engraving by the English School in the 19th century, showcases two powerful women who played pivotal roles during a tumultuous period. In this image, we see Empress Matilda, daughter of Henry I, alongside the Queen of Stephen. Matilda boldly invaded England after assuming the throne was rightfully hers instead of Stephen's. As mother to King Henry II of England, her influence on future generations cannot be understated. The engraving beautifully portrays these formidable figures with intricate details and delicate lines. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to their expressions, capturing both strength and determination. This historical photograph is part of a private collection that sheds light on an era filled with political turmoil and power struggles. It serves as a reminder that women have always played crucial roles in shaping history. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness the resilience and ambition of these remarkable women. Their stories continue to inspire us today as we strive for equality and recognition for all.
