EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment from William Shakespeare's historical play, "Henry VI, Part 2," specifically from Act II, Scene V, titled "The Tower Scene." In this scene, Richard Plantagenet, later to be known as Richard III, provides crucial support to Mortimer as they plot against King Henry VI and Queen Margaret. Richard Plantagenet, portrayed here in eighteenth-century attire, is shown in earnest conversation with Mortimer in the ominous confines of the Tower of London. The dark, foreboding atmosphere of the Tower adds to the sense of intrigue and treachery that permeates the scene. The historical backdrop of the Tower, a symbol of power and authority, serves as an apt setting for this clandestine meeting. Shakespeare's "Henry VI, Part 2" is the second play in the Wars of the Roses tetralogy, a series of plays that chronicles the political struggles for the English throne during the late fifteenth century. The play delves into the complex web of alliances, betrayals, and power grabs that characterized this tumultuous period in English history. The Tower Scene is a crucial turning point in the play, as it marks the beginning of the alliance between Richard Plantagenet and Mortimer, which ultimately leads to the downfall of the Lancaster dynasty and the rise of the Yorkists. The image captures the intensity and secrecy of this pivotal moment, as the two men conspire to seize the throne and shape the course of English history. This print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the rich historical and theatrical legacy of Shakespeare's "Henry VI, Part 2" and the enduring fascination with the political intrigues and power struggles of the late medieval period.
