During the 19th century, the warrior queen Boudicca or Boadicea became a more popular figure in Great Britain with the reign of Queen Victoria. Alfred, Lord Tennyson, wrote a poem "Boadicea" and Prince Albert commissioned a large statue of Boudicca in her chariot. This 19th century image also shows her in that war carriage rallying the Iceni warriors against the Romans.
The scene below the image of Boudicca shows a Roman governor, Gaius Seutonius Paulinus, persecuting the druids of Britain. The images at the sides show an Iceni warrior (left) contrasted with a Roman warrior (right).
The engraving, by H. Lemon, is based on a painting by T. Stothard, R.A.
