EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "Matilda's Escape from Oxford Castle, 1142" takes us back in time to a pivotal moment in British history. Illustrated by Allan Stewart in the early 20th century for Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, this print captures Empress Matilda's daring escape from Oxford Castle during the autumn of 1142. Intriguingly disguised and cloaked in regal attire, Matilda navigates through a snowy landscape as she flees her besieged captors. The artist masterfully portrays the tension and determination on her face as she braves the harsh winter conditions. This image serves as a testament to Matilda's resilience and unwavering spirit amidst political turmoil. The lithograph offers an intimate glimpse into one of England's most fascinating female rulers, known for her claim to the throne during the tumultuous period known as The Anarchy. It is said that Matilda cleverly used disguises like those depicted here to outsmart her enemies throughout her quest for power. Preserved within a private collection, this engraving showcases not only Stewart's artistic talent but also highlights Bridgeman Images' commitment to preserving historical treasures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back centuries ago when bravery met adversity against an enchanting wintry backdrop—a true testament to Britain's rich heritage and its indomitable women who shaped its destiny.
