EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 25x30cm photograph print, titled "Eliz York / Players / 20 / 50: Elizabeth of York, Queen to Henry VII," is a captivating portrayal of one of the most intriguing figures in English history. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts Elizabeth of York, the beautiful and intelligent queen consort of King Henry VII, who ruled England from 1485 to 1509. Born in 1466, Elizabeth was the eldest daughter of the Yorkist King Edward IV and his queen, Cecily Neville. Her mother's famous white rose of York emblem is subtly incorporated into Elizabeth's elaborate headdress, symbolizing her lineage and the end of the Wars of the Roses. The golden background adds a regal and majestic touch to the portrait, emphasizing Elizabeth's status as a queen. Elizabeth's marriage to Henry Tudor, the Lancaster claimant to the throne, in 1486 was a strategic union designed to end the civil war and unite the warring houses of York and Lancaster. The couple had six children together, including the future King Henry VIII, and their union marked the beginning of the Tudor dynasty. The photograph captures Elizabeth in her late forties, around the year 1503, when she was at the height of her power and influence. Her serene expression and elegant attire convey a sense of grace and poise, reflecting her role as a queen and mother. The intricate details of her head dress, adorned with pearls and precious stones, further emphasize her wealth and status. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection of historical portraits or those interested in the Tudor period, providing a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who played a pivotal role in English history.
