EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the regal presence of King Edward V of England, immortalized in a portrait by Mary Ann Rundall. The king is depicted wearing his crown and holding a sceptre, adorned with an elegant ermine mantle. However, what makes this artwork truly intriguing is the emblem that signifies the Duke of Gloucester seizing the crown. Intricately handcoloured and expertly engraved on steel, this piece brings to life a pivotal moment in English history. It captures the tension and drama surrounding Edward V's reign as he faced usurpation from his own uncle. The symbolic illustration hints at the power struggle that ensued when Gloucester took hold of the coveted crown. Mary Ann Rundall's contribution to A Symbolical History of England further enhances our understanding of this historical event. Her mnemonic emblems serve as educational tools, allowing us to delve into England's past through visual hieroglyphics. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness not only a significant chapter in British monarchy but also appreciate Rundall's artistic prowess. This portrait serves as a testament to her talent as both an educator and an illustrator. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with access to exquisite fine art prints like this one – pieces that allow us to immerse ourselves in history while appreciating its aesthetic beauty.
