EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of "The War of the Two Roses (1455-1485): the beginning of the conflict". In this historical illustration, we witness a defining moment that sparked one of England's bloodiest civil wars. A Lord from the Royal House of York delicately plucks a white rose, symbolizing his allegiance to their cause. On the other side, a member from the Royal House of Lancaster carefully selects a vibrant red rose, representing their unwavering loyalty. The image beautifully depicts how this bitter feud originated from King Edward III's successors being divided into two branches. As tensions escalated between these rival factions, known as The War of the Roses, supporters began donning either white or red roses to signify their affiliation. Those serving under Duke of York proudly wore white roses while friends and allies aligned with House Lancaster adorned themselves with striking red blooms. Chromolithographed in 1890 for "Pictures of English History" by George Routledge & Sons, this remarkable piece transports us back to an era where political strife tore families apart and plunged England into chaos. Preserved in a private collection today, it serves as both a testament to our turbulent past and a reminder that even amidst adversity, beauty can be found within art. Photographer Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captured every intricate detail in this historic scene through his lens. By sharing this photograph with us now through Fine Art Finder, he allows viewers to immerse themselves in an important chapter in English history and reflect upon its lasting impact on society.
