EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, "Edward V seized by Richard, Duke of Gloucester" takes us back to a tumultuous period in English history. Created by an anonymous 19th-century English artist and now part of a private collection, this print depicts the dramatic moment when young Edward V was forcibly taken into custody by his uncle, Richard III. Edward V's reign as King of England was short-lived before he faced deposition at the hands of his ambitious uncle. The image showcases the arresting scene with great detail and emotion. On horseback, Richard III is shown forcefully grabbing Edward V while soldiers surround them with spears raised high. This historical event took place during the Wars of the Roses, a time marked by power struggles between rival factions within the House of York and House of Lancaster. The print captures not only the political turmoil but also highlights medieval notions of royal authority and violence. The composition skillfully portrays both action and tension as it immerses viewers in this pivotal moment in British history. It serves as a reminder that even those born into privilege can face uncertain fates when caught up in political machinations. With its rich symbolism and intricate details, this lithograph offers an intriguing glimpse into 15th-century England—a world filled with intrigue, power plays, and familial betrayal.
