EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Flight of Queen Margaret after the Battle of Tewkesbury, 1471" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The colour lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, showcases the aftermath of the Battle of Tewkesbury. In this image, we witness Queen Margaret's desperate escape following her defeat in battle. Surrounded by her loyal sons and knights, she flees from her Yorkist captors through the picturesque Gloucestershire countryside. This postcard, dating back to the early 20th century, beautifully captures this dramatic scene. The Battle of Tewkesbury was a pivotal event during the Wars of Roses. It marked a decisive victory for Edward IV's Yorkists over Henry VI's Lancastrian forces. William Shakespeare later immortalized this historic clash in his play named after King Henry VI. Amidst all these historical references lies another layer to explore – botany and wild roses. The inclusion of wild flowers symbolizes nature's resilience amidst human conflicts while also hinting at scientific methods used to study them. Overall, this print not only provides us with a glimpse into an important historical event but also invites contemplation on themes such as power struggles, loyalty, and even our relationship with nature itself.
