EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century steel engraving captures the historic moment of Henry Tudor's (later known as Henry VII) grand entrance into Shrewsbury. The image portrays a significant event in English history, showcasing the first town that Henry would pass through on his way to the decisive Battle of Bosworth on August 22nd, 1485. Amidst a medieval setting, we witness the ruler's triumphant march through Shrewsbury's gates. As he leads his army forward, they traverse over the lifeless body of the fallen mayor, symbolizing their unwavering determination and power. This poignant scene serves as a reminder of both the ruthlessness and ambition that characterized this era. The print beautifully captures various elements from this bygone time: an imposing portcullis guarding entry into the town, a barbican signaling fortification, and soldiers marching with purpose towards their destiny. It transports us back to an age when wars for power were waged between rival factions during one of Britain's most turbulent periods - The Wars of Roses. With its intricate details and masterful execution typical of Renaissance artistry, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into England's rich historical tapestry. Through its portrayal of Henry Tudor's arrival in Shrewsbury before embarking on his fateful journey to claim the throne at Bosworth Field, it immortalizes an important chapter in British royal lineage.
