EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic moment of Queen Margaret of Anjou being taken prisoner after the Battle of Tewkesbury in 1471. The color lithograph, created by John Gilbert and part of a private collection, beautifully captures the essence of this significant event. In this image, we see Queen Margaret on horseback, surrounded by soldiers from the victorious Yorkist army. Her expression reflects a mixture of defeat and humiliation as she is captured and her reign comes to an end. The medieval setting transports us back to the Middle Ages, specifically to England during the Wars of the Roses. The Battle of Tewkesbury was a turning point in British history, marking a decisive victory for the Yorkists over their Lancastrian rivals. This clash between two powerful factions shaped Britain's destiny for years to come. The illustration originally appeared in Cassells History of the British People around 1920, providing readers with a visual representation that brings history alive. It serves as a reminder not only of Queen Margaret's capture but also highlights her role as an influential figure during this tumultuous period. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's journey from power to captivity—a testament to both her resilience and the volatile nature of politics during that era.
