EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1821 depicts Boadicea, the fierce Queen of the Iceni during Roman times. Dressed in a gwn (tunic) and long pais (petticoat), she exudes power and strength. Adorned with a cloak, fibula (brooch), bracelets, and holding a lance, Boadicea is the epitome of regal authority. In the background, we see warrior Britons standing alongside one of her daughters in a petoritum (chariot). The handcoloured aquatint by R. Havell beautifully captures this historical moment. The illustration comes from Samuel Meyrick's "Costume of the Original Inhabitants of the British Islands" published in London in 1821. It offers us a glimpse into ancient British culture and tradition. Boadicea's image represents not only her own reign but also symbolizes an entire era. Her attire showcases traditional Celtic style while embodying the spirit of resistance against Roman rule. This print serves as a reminder of Britain's rich history and its resilient people who fought to preserve their customs and way of life. It transports us back to an age when queens ruled with courage and determination. As we gaze upon this engraving, we are transported to another time - to witness firsthand the bravery and tenacity that defined Boadicea's reign as Queen of the Iceni.
