EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Widow Kelly and other women stopping up Frome Gate at the Siege of Bristol in 1643" transports us back to a significant moment during the English Civil War. The image depicts a group of brave women led by Widow Kelly as they defiantly block the entrance to Frome Gate in Bristol. Intriguingly, this historical event showcases the strength and resilience of ordinary women who played an active role in defending their city against enemy forces. Their determination is palpable as they use whatever means necessary to halt the progress of the besiegers. The artist's attention to detail brings this scene vividly to life, capturing both the intensity and desperation that must have permeated through those turbulent times. The composition skillfully portrays these courageous women working together, united by a common purpose despite their diverse backgrounds. This print serves not only as a visual representation but also as a testament to forgotten heroines whose contributions often go unnoticed in traditional historical narratives. It reminds us that history is filled with countless untold stories waiting for rediscovery. Preserved within private collections, this engraving has found its way into our hands thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to sharing fine art with enthusiasts worldwide. As we gaze upon it today, let us remember and honor these remarkable women who stood tall amidst chaos and adversity during one of England's most tumultuous periods.
