EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative print, King Henry VII (1457-1509) is depicted moments after his decisive victory over King Richard III (1452-1485) at the Battle of Bosworth on August 22, 1485. The historic encounter, which took place in Leicestershire, England, marked the end of the Wars of the Roses and the beginning of the Tudor dynasty. With Richard III lying dead on the battlefield, Henry VII, clad in armor and brandishing a sword, is approached by a group of noblemen. They offer him the crown of England, symbolizing his newfound claim to the throne. Henry's triumphant expression and the reverence of the nobles around him underscore the significance of this pivotal moment in British history. Henry VII's victory came after a tumultuous period in English history, which saw the country torn apart by civil war between the houses of Lancaster and York. The Battle of Bosworth was the last major engagement of this conflict, and Henry's victory brought a much-needed sense of stability and unity to the realm. The newly crowned monarch would go on to rule England for over 20 years, during which time he worked to strengthen the central government, rebuild the economy, and secure his position on the throne. This print, with its powerful imagery and historical significance, serves as a testament to the momentous events that unfolded on that fateful day in 1485.
