EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the pivotal moment in history when Richard III of England valiantly led his troops into battle at Bosworth Field in Leicestershire, 1485. The last Plantagenet King of England, Richard's fate would be sealed on this very battlefield. Clad in formidable armor and mounted on a majestic horse, he charges fearlessly towards his enemies with sword raised high. The Battle of Bosworth Field marked the decisive end to the Wars of the Roses, a tumultuous period that had engulfed England for decades. Richard's untimely death here paved the way for a new era under Henry VII, founder of the illustrious Tudor dynasty. Rendered by James William Edmund Doyle in 1864, this lithograph beautifully captures both the historical significance and artistic prowess of its time. The vibrant colors bring to life an intense scene filled with bravery and sacrifice. In this image, we witness not just a king leading his soldiers into combat but also glimpse into an entire epoch - medieval knights clad in shining armor engaging in fierce hand-to-hand combat amidst swirling chaos. It serves as a testament to human resilience and determination during times of war. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are reminded that history is not merely confined within textbooks; it lives on through art like this – immortalizing heroes and their legacies for generations to come.
