Richard III Killed in Bosworth-Field, 1773 - A Glimpse into England's Historic Battle
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the 15th century, specifically to the fateful day of Richard III's demise on the battlefield of Bosworth. Created by William Walker as an engraving for Temple Sydney's comprehensive historical account, this image captures a pivotal moment in English history. In this scene, Richard III stands tall and resolute, his arm raised with an axe firmly gripped in hand. Clad in armor that reflects his regal stature, he gestures towards his opponents with determination etched upon his face. The Duke of Gloucester fights valiantly against Henry Tudor (later known as Henry VII), representing the House of York against the House of Lancaster. The frame surrounding this powerful illustration adds a touch of decorative elegance to its historic significance. It serves as a window into a time when monarchs fought fiercely for power and dynasties clashed on blood-soaked battlefields. As we gaze upon this monochrome portrait frozen in time, we are reminded not only of Richard III's tragic end but also of the broader context it represents – a turning point that marked the last English king to be killed in battle. Through Walker's artistry and Sydney's words, we are transported back centuries ago to witness one chapter among many that shaped England’s storied past.
