EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the resolute figure of Margaret of Anjou, Queen Consort of Henry VI. Created in 1792, it offers a glimpse into the life and reign of this remarkable medieval monarch. Margaret's marriage to Henry VI in 1445 thrust her into a position of power as his mental instability rendered him unable to effectively lead. As a result, she became the driving force behind the Lancastrian cause during the tumultuous Wars of the Roses. In this portrait, Margaret exudes regal elegance with her crown atop her head and intricate dress adorning her form. Her piercing gaze reflects both strength and determination as she navigates through an era marked by political upheaval and conflict. It is worth noting that despite these challenges, Margaret's legacy extends beyond being merely a queen consort; she also founded Queens College at Cambridge University. The artist behind this engraving remains unknown but has skillfully captured Margaret's essence as a powerful female leader within a male-dominated society. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of timelessness to the image, evoking memories of the fifteenth century while simultaneously resonating with viewers from later centuries. This print serves as a testament to Margaret's enduring impact on history—a sovereign who defied expectations and left an indelible mark on England during one of its most turbulent periods—the War of the Roses.
