EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Queens College, Cambridge, along with a striking portrait of Margaret of Anjou, Queen Consort of Henry VI. The image transports us back to the 15th century, a time when this remarkable woman played a pivotal role in English history. Margaret of Anjou's marriage to Henry VI in 1445 was not just an alliance between two royal families; it became a turning point for England during the Wars of the Roses. With her husband's mental instability, Margaret effectively led the Lancastrian cause and fought fiercely for their claim to the throne. In addition to her military prowess, Margaret also left an enduring legacy through her patronage. She founded Queens College at Cambridge University, symbolizing her commitment to education and empowering women in medieval society. The engraving beautifully captures Margaret's regal presence as she stands outside Queens College. Her crown serves as a reminder of her status as queen consort and her determination to uphold Lancaster's monarchy. This print is not only an artistic representation but also a historical document that sheds light on one of England's most influential queens. It allows us to delve into the complex world of medieval politics while appreciating the architectural beauty that still graces Cambridge today. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Margaret's strength and resilience amidst turbulent times—a true embodiment of female power throughout history.
