EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported back to the 15th century court of King Edward IV. Earl Rivers, Anthony Woodville, presents his esteemed translation of the Dictes and Sayings of the Philosophers to the king and his family. The scene is filled with regal splendor as they gather around a grand throne. Earl Rivers stands tall in his elegant robe, holding his cherished book with pride. He kneels before King Edward IV, offering him this literary masterpiece that was printed by none other than William Caxton himself at Westminster in 1477. The significance of this moment is palpable. Seated on the throne beside her husband is Queen Elizabeth Woodville, radiating grace and poise. Their young son, Prince Edward V, looks on with curiosity as he holds onto his mother's fur-trimmed gown. A man in a cap and robe believed to be Richard III stands nearby; perhaps contemplating the words within Earl Rivers' translation. This engraving by Charles Grignion beautifully captures not only a historical event but also the intricate details of medieval court life. It transports us into an era where literature held great importance and royal patronage nurtured artistic endeavors. As we gaze upon this image from centuries past, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates both power and intellect intertwined within one frame – a testament to the enduring legacy of these influential figures during England's tumultuous War of Roses period.
