EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and historically significant lithograph captures the meeting of two contrasting figures in English history - King Richard II and Watt Tyler. Created by Henry Justice Ford, this colourful print showcases a pivotal moment during the Peasants' Revolt. The illustration was originally featured in "A School History of England" by C. R. L Fletcher and Rudyard Kipling, published in Oxford back in 1911. In this scene, we witness the clash between royalty and rebellion as King Richard II confronts Watt Tyler, one of the leaders of the revolt. The image beautifully depicts their stark differences - Richard II adorned in regal attire while Tyler represents the common man fighting for justice. The presence of children surrounding these historical figures adds an intriguing layer to this artwork. It serves as a reminder that even though these events took place centuries ago, they continue to shape our understanding of English history today. This print not only educates but also sparks curiosity among young minds about their country's past. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from a private collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic brilliance and historical significance. As we delve into this visual representation of medieval England's turmoil, it is impossible not to be captivated by both its aesthetic appeal and educational value.
