EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Elizabeth Woodville and Jane Shore accused by Richard, Duke of Gloucester, 1483 (1793)", takes us back to a tumultuous period in English history. The image depicts two women at the center of political intrigue during the late medieval era. Elizabeth Woodville, the widow of King Edward IV, stands tall with an air of regal dignity. Her presence exudes strength as she faces accusations brought forth by Richard, Duke of Gloucester. Jane Shore, another woman entangled in this web of suspicion and witchcraft allegations, appears both vulnerable and defiant. The artist Charles Alfred Ashburton skillfully captures the tension between these historical figures through his intricate engraving technique. Their expressions convey a mix of fear and determination amidst a backdrop filled with symbols representing power struggles within the monarchy. As we gaze upon this print from Ashburton's History of England published in 1793, we are transported to an era where family ties were tested by politics and ambition. It serves as a reminder that even those closest to royalty could find themselves caught up in treacherous webs spun by their own kin. Through this artwork, we glimpse into the complex dynamics that shaped British history during the Wars of the Roses. It is a poignant reminder that suspicion and distrust can permeate even royal circles - forever leaving its mark on our collective memory.
