EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite mezzotint print depicts Edward II, the King of England from 1307 to 1327. Born on April 25, 1284, Edward was the son of Edward I, also known as Longshanks, and his second wife, Eleanor of Castile. Edward's reign was marked by political instability, rebellion, and conflict, particularly with his barons and the powerful Earl of Lancaster. Edward's reign began with his father's death in 1307, and he was crowned at Westminster Abbey on January 25, 1308. However, his rule was challenged from the start, as his mother, Isabella of France, and her lover, Roger Mortimer, seized power in 1326. Edward was eventually deposed and murdered in Berkeley Castle in September 1327. This mezzotint print captures the regal presence of Edward II, with his crown perched atop his head and his regal robes adorned with ermine and other symbols of royalty. The intricate details of the print, achieved through the labor-intensive process of mezzotint, bring the image to life and offer a glimpse into the past. Mezzotint, an intaglio printing process, was developed in the late 17th century and gained popularity for its ability to produce rich, tonal images. This particular print is a testament to the artistry and skill of the mezzotint engraver, who expertly manipulated the surface of the copper plate to create the intricate textures and shading seen here. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of medieval England and the complex political landscape of the time. Edward II's reign was marked by turmoil and conflict, but his legacy as a king continues to be debated and studied by historians and scholars today.
