EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - the powerful scene of Boadicea haranguing the Britons. Queen of the British Celtic Iceni tribe, Boadicea led a courageous uprising against the Roman Empire's occupying forces. The image is based on an engraving by Thomas Stothard, depicting this pivotal event from "The History of England Div XII" by David Hume & Tobias Smollett. In this monochrome masterpiece, we see Boadicea standing tall and commanding attention as she addresses her fellow countrymen. Her arm raised in a passionate gesture, she rallies her people to fight for their freedom against Rome's oppressive rule. Behind her stands a horse-drawn chariot adorned with flags representing their proud Celtic heritage. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and determination on Boadicea's face, reflecting both her strength as a female leader and her unwavering commitment to liberating her land from foreign control. The horses nearby symbolize not only mobility but also power and resilience. This 19th-century print transports us back to ancient Britain, immersing us in its rich history and reminding us of the bravery exhibited by those who fought for independence. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of struggle, unity can prevail over adversity.
