EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a dramatic moment from history as Queen Margaret of Anjou finds herself under attack by a menacing robber. Engraved by J. Landseer and based on an illustration from David Humes' The History of England, this artwork is both visually striking and historically significant. In the midst of a dense forest, Queen Margaret stands with her young son Edward, Prince of Wales, at her side. The tension in their faces is palpable as they confront the threat before them. The artist Robert Smirke skillfully portrays their fear and vulnerability in this powerful scene. The lushness of the woods adds to the atmosphere, enveloping the viewer in a sense of danger and uncertainty. It is clear that these figures are far removed from the safety and opulence associated with royalty. This image not only showcases Queen Margaret's strength as she protects her child but also highlights the challenges faced by female rulers during this tumultuous period in British history. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of power were not immune to danger or hardship. With its intricate details and emotional depth, this engraving offers viewers a glimpse into an important chapter in English history while simultaneously evoking empathy for its central characters - a mother fiercely protecting her frightened son against all odds.
