EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into British history. The figures depicted here are Catherine, Countess of Desmond, Mary Davis, Dr Hall, and Perkin Warbeck. Catherine, Countess of Desmond was an Anglo-Norman Irish noblewoman who lived an extraordinary life. It is said that she reached the remarkable age of 140 years before her passing in 1604. Her longevity alone makes her a figure worth remembering. Mary Davis, on the other hand, had a peculiar physical feature that set her apart from others. She had a horn-like excrescence growing out of her head—a truly unique characteristic that undoubtedly made her stand out in society. Dr Hall's presence in this image suggests his significance within British history. Although further details about him are not provided in the caption, it is clear that he played a role worthy of recognition. Lastly, we have Perkin Warbeck—an intriguing individual who claimed to be one of the Princes in the Tower during King Edward IV's reign. His pretender status and connection to such historical events make him an enigmatic figure deserving attention. This engraving originates from "The Wonders of the Little World; or A General History of Man" by Nathaniel Wanley (London, 1806). Its inclusion here allows us to appreciate these notable figures and their place within British history as captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder.
