EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Margaret of Anjou, a prominent figure in British history during the 15th century. The image, dating back to 1830, captures the essence of this influential queen consort through an engraving from "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard. Margaret of Anjou, born in 1430 into the House of Valois, became Queen of England through her marriage to King Henry VI. Her reign spanned from 1445-1461 and again from 1470-1471. However, she is best known for her involvement in the Wars of the Roses, where she played a significant role as a Lancastrian leader against Richard of York. Despite her efforts to secure power for her husband's dynasty, Margaret eventually faced exile in France after enduring numerous political setbacks. This portrait captures both her regal presence and hints at the challenges she faced throughout her life. The unknown creator skillfully depicts Margaret wearing a crown that symbolizes her status as queen while also showcasing elements of historical accuracy. Through this detailed engraving, we catch a glimpse into the life and struggles of this remarkable woman who left an indelible mark on English history. As we admire this striking portrayal captured over two centuries ago, it serves as a reminder not only of Margaret's significance but also highlights how art can preserve and immortalize important figures from our past.
