EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of the historic Battle of Towton, which took place in 1461. Created by the English School in the 19th century, this artwork is now part of a private collection. The intensity and drama of this pivotal battle are vividly captured in this image. The Battle of Towton was one of the bloodiest conflicts fought on English soil during the Wars of the Roses. It marked a turning point in history as it determined who would claim the throne: either King Henry VI or his rival Edward IV. This engraving beautifully depicts soldiers clad in armor engaged in fierce combat, with billowing smoke and flying banners adding to the chaos and tension. The attention to detail and skillful execution make this artwork truly remarkable. Through digital cleaning techniques, its original beauty has been preserved for generations to appreciate. This particular print was featured as an illustration for "Historical Scrap Book" published by Cassel around 1880. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are transported back to that fateful day when thousands clashed at Towton Field. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich historical heritage but also of the sacrifices made by those who fought bravely for their beliefs.
