EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures the dramatic scene of Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. Illustrated from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, this 19th-century engraving brings to life a pivotal moment in history. The image showcases Richard III, the ill-fated King of England, as he valiantly fights on horseback amidst the chaos and carnage of war. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity and brutality of battle as soldiers clash swords and confront each other with unwavering determination. This depiction transports us back to Bosworth Field, where the Wars of the Roses reached their climax in 1485. Richard III's fate hangs precariously in the balance as he faces his adversaries head-on. His regal presence juxtaposed with his imminent demise creates a poignant visual narrative that resonates even after centuries have passed. The composition highlights not only Richard III but also emphasizes the larger conflict between rival factions - House of York versus House of Lancaster. It serves as a reminder that this was not merely an individual struggle for power but a turning point in English history. Through this artwork, we witness both heroism and tragedy unfold on horseback amidst a chaotic battlefield. It is an evocative portrayal that encapsulates all aspects of warfare - courage, fear, sacrifice, and ultimately death. This remarkable print from Bridgeman Images allows us to delve into history and experience firsthand one man's fight for survival against insurmountable odds during one fateful day
