EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Richard Neville, also known as Nevill, Earl of Warwick. A prominent figure in English medieval history, he was not only a skilled soldier but also a respected statesman. The photograph captures him in his armor, holding a shield and sword with an air of authority. Warwick's fate was sealed at the Battle of Barnet on April 14th, 1471 during the Wars of the Roses. This brutal conflict between the houses of Lancaster and York for control over England's throne claimed many lives, including Warwick's own. His death marked a significant turning point in this tumultuous period. The image evokes power and strength; it serves as both a metaphor for Warwick's influence as well as an embodiment of the political turmoil that defined this era. As one gazes upon this woodcut portrait from the 19th century, they are transported back to fifteenth-century Britain - a time when nobleman like Warwick played pivotal roles in shaping their country's destiny. This remarkable piece is more than just historical documentation; it is an artistic representation capturing the essence of Richard Neville - known famously as "Warwick the Kingmaker". It stands as a testament to his legacy and reminds us of his enduring impact on British politics and warfare during these turbulent times.
