EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite engraving of "Britomart unarming" by Frederick Richard Pickersgill. The artwork, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on June 9th, 1855. The image depicts Britomart, a character from Edmund Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene" in the process of removing her armor. Surrounded by cherubs and putti, she stands gracefully amidst an armory filled with traditional plate armor and armoured clothing. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every mesh size and intricate design on the armor is meticulously portrayed. It transports us back to a time when knights were revered for their bravery and chivalry. In this scene, Britomart represents not only female soldiers but also embodies strength and courage in combat. She challenges gender norms by proving that women can be just as capable warriors as men. This print serves as a reminder of the rich literary heritage that continues to inspire artists throughout history. It captures both the beauty of classical literature and the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating such detailed engravings. Bridgeman Images has preserved this masterpiece through their Fine Art Finder platform, allowing us to appreciate its timeless beauty today.
