EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from 1850 showcases the formidable figure of John Howard, the first Duke of Norfolk. Known by his moniker "Jack of Norfolk" he was a prominent English soldier and nobleman during the tumultuous times of civil war in England. As Earl Marshal of England, Howard held great power and influence within the realm. The image captures Howard's commanding presence, with his stern gaze and resolute expression. Clad in armor that speaks to his status as a seasoned warrior, he exudes strength and determination. This print serves as a testament to his unwavering loyalty to King Richard III. Tragically, Howard met his untimely demise at the Battle of Bosworth in 1485. Engaged in one of history's most pivotal conflicts, he fought valiantly but ultimately fell on the battlefield. His death marked a significant turning point in British history as it led to Henry Tudor seizing power and becoming Henry VII. This wood engraving not only commemorates an influential figure but also offers us a glimpse into an era defined by political strife and military prowess. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by individuals like John Howard for their beliefs and allegiances during this turbulent period in English history.
