Margaret and the Robber, 1902. Artist: Patten Wilson
Margaret and the Robber, 1902. The legend of Queen Margaret of Anjou after the Battle of Hexham (1464) is a legend appealing in its pathos and high romanticism; it has, however, no basis in history, as Margaret was not even in England at the time of the battle. After a work by Patten Wilson (1869-1934). From A Childs History of England by Charles Dickens [J. M. Dent & Co. New York, 1902]

Margaret and the Robber, 1902 - A Tale of Pathos and Romanticism
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment from the legendary tale of Queen Margaret of Anjou after the Battle of Hexham in 1464. Created by Patten Wilson, this artwork beautifully depicts the high romanticism and pathos associated with this fictional story. In this scene, set amidst nature's embrace, we witness a young woman named Margaret kneeling before a menacing robber. The contrasting elements of vulnerability and strength are palpable as Margaret bravely confronts her assailant. Despite being historically inaccurate – for Margaret was not present in England during that time – the legend still resonates with its emotional appeal. The artist skillfully portrays the protective instinct within society through his depiction of a male figure standing guard nearby. This symbolizes both physical protection against crime and an embodiment of law and order. Amidst the lush greenery stands a majestic tree, representing stability and rootedness even in times of turmoil. It serves as a poignant reminder that even during war-ravaged centuries like the fifteenth century depicted here, concepts such as chivalry were held dear. Rendered in monochrome hues by Wilson's masterful hand, this black-and-white engraving evokes nostalgia for an era long past while emphasizing timeless themes such as bravery, loyalty, and sacrifice. As we gaze upon "Margaret and the Robber" let us appreciate its artistic beauty while acknowledging its place within Charles Dickens' "A Child's History of England". This print transports us to an enchanting world where legends intertwine with history to create enduring tales that captivate our imagination across generations.
