EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Boadicea" takes us back to the mid-late 19th century, showcasing an ancient British folk heroine in all her glory. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, but their artistic prowess is evident in every detail. In this scene from history, we witness Queen Boadicea of the British Celtic Iceni tribe standing tall on a chariot with blades adorning its wheels. With unwavering determination etched on her face, she rallies her warriors for battle against the Roman Empire's occupying forces. In the distance, a stone circle stands as a symbol of ancient power and mysticism. Boadicea's courageous uprising took place around 60 or 61 AD; however, it ultimately ended in failure. Legend has it that she chose to poison herself rather than submit to Roman rule. Her sacrifice solidified her status as a revered figure in British folklore. The engraving featured here comes from "Cassells Illustrated History of England" published by Cassell Petter & Galpin in 1873. It beautifully captures the spirit and strength of this iconic queen who defied an empire. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us remember Boadicea's indomitable spirit and unwavering commitment to freedom. She continues to inspire generations with her bravery and serves as a reminder that even against insurmountable odds, one person can ignite change and become a timeless symbol of resistance.
