EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing print by artist John Leech that captures the essence of English history with a touch of humor. Created around 1860, this caricature depicts Richard III, the infamous monarch from the Plantagenet dynasty. As part of "The Comic History of England" series by Gilbert A. Beckett, this engraving showcases Leech's talent for satire and his ability to bring historical figures to life. In this comical portrayal, Richard III is shown mounted on a horse with a mischievous grin on his face. Armed with a sword in hand, he exudes confidence and regal charm despite his notorious reputation. The monochrome style adds depth to the image while emphasizing its historical context. Leech's artwork not only highlights Richard III as a central figure but also provides insight into the warfare and weaponry prevalent during that era. This print serves as both entertainment and educational material, offering viewers an amusing yet informative glimpse into English history. With its clever composition and attention to detail, "A Horse, a Horse!" invites us to explore the fascinating world of medieval England through artistry and wit. It reminds us that even in serious matters like monarchy and war, there is always room for laughter and levity.
