EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts a significant moment in history - Queen Elizabeth Wydville taking sanctuary at Westminster in 1471. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, showcases the queen seeking refuge within the hallowed walls of Westminster during a tumultuous time. Intriguingly, this print is part of a private collection and was featured in the Historical Scrap Book published by Cassel around 1880. The digitally cleaned image allows us to appreciate the intricate details and emotions captured within this historical scene. Queen Elizabeth Wydville, also known as Woodville, was no stranger to adversity. Her decision to seek sanctuary at Westminster highlights her resilience and determination to protect herself and her family amidst political turmoil. This engraving serves as a testament to her strength and resourcefulness during challenging times. The composition exudes an aura of solemnity and reverence as Queen Elizabeth stands resolutely within the sacred space of Westminster. The artist's skillful rendering brings forth a sense of depth and texture through delicate lines etched onto paper. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness one woman's courageous act that would forever be etched into history books.
