EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "How Lady Blanche Arundel Held Wardour for King Charles" by William Small tells a tale of courage and loyalty during the English Civil War. The print depicts Lady Blanche Arundel, a noblewoman, standing strong within the walls of Wardour Castle, defending it in the name of King Charles. Lady Blanche's unwavering dedication to her king is evident as she guards the inner court against idleness, ribaldry, and drunken revelry. Her presence alone serves as a deterrent to those who would dare disrespect the sanctity of the castle. This historical artwork beautifully captures an era filled with legends and ballads that have shaped English literature. It was originally created as an illustration for Walter Thornbury's book "Historical and Legendary Ballads and Songs" published in 1876. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported back in time to witness Lady Blanche's bravery firsthand. The attention to detail in Small's engraving allows us to appreciate not only her resolute stance but also the architectural grandeur of Wardour Castle itself. This image serves as a reminder of the rich history that has shaped Europe over centuries. It represents both Germanic culture and European unity through its inclusion in Bridgeman Images' collection from Fine Art Finder.
