EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British history - King Richard III, the last king of the Houses of York and Plantagenet. The portrait, created in 1786 by an unknown artist, showcases the monarch's regal presence and noble attire. King Richard III reigned as King of England and Lord of Ireland from 1483 until his death at the Battle of Bosworth Field. This battle marked the end of the Wars of the Roses, a tumultuous period in English history. The image is taken from "The History of England" by Paul de Rapin-Thoyras, published by Harrison in London. In this oval-shaped engraving, King Richard III is depicted wearing a cloak adorned with a chain of office. His hat adds to his commanding appearance as he gazes confidently into the distance. The monochrome tones give depth to his facial features and convey a sense of timelessness. This portrait not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers insight into Richard's character and significance within British culture. It reminds us that even centuries later, we are still captivated by historical figures who shaped our world today.
