EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned print captures a pivotal moment in history - the Battle of Evesham. The illustration, taken from Cassell's Illustrated History of England, depicts King Henry III in grave danger amidst the chaos of the battlefield. The scene is filled with tension and action as soldiers clash around him. King Henry's life hangs by a thread as he finds himself surrounded by fallen comrades and mounting enemies. However, hope emerges from an unexpected source. In this dramatic image, we witness Roger de Leybourne, a converted rebel turned loyalist, coming to the king's rescue on horseback. With lance in hand and determination etched across his face, Leybourne charges towards danger without hesitation. The composition beautifully portrays the intensity of battle while highlighting the bravery and loyalty that can arise even amidst conflict. It serves as a reminder that heroism can be found in unexpected places and that alliances can shift when faced with dire circumstances. This historical snapshot not only immortalizes a significant event but also showcases the power of art to capture emotion and tell stories beyond words alone. As viewers gaze upon this engraving from centuries past, they are transported back to a time where lives were at stake and loyalties were tested on blood-soaked fields like Evesham.
