EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the intense Battle of Lincoln or the First Battle of Lincoln that took place on 2 February 1141. The central figure in this image is none other than Stephen of Blois, also known as Stephen Prisoner. A prominent ruler and monarch, he reigned as King of England during the tumultuous period known as "The Anarchy" in the 12th century. Stephen's fate hangs precariously in the balance within this engraving from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, published back in 1857. His capture during this fierce conflict signifies a significant turning point not only for him but also for his kingdom. The chaos and brutality of civil war are palpable through this archival illustration, transporting us to an era where armies clashed fiercely on blood-soaked battlefields. Amidst the chaos and violence depicted here, we witness soldiers engaged in relentless fighting armed with various weapons emblematic of warfare during that time. This vintage picture serves as a testament to historical events that have shaped our world today. Ken Welsh's masterful touch breathes life into this old-world depiction while preserving its authenticity and historical significance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we cannot help but be transported back to an era filled with political turmoil and military might. This print stands not only as a visual masterpiece but also as a poignant reminder of how power struggles can shape nations' destinies throughout history. It serves as an enduring tribute to those who fought valiantly on both sides and invites us to reflect upon their sacrifices amidst the ravages of war.
