EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of Edward V, the ill-fated child king of England from the 15th century. Created by Charles Grignion in 1773, this portrait is based on a work by Samuel Wale. Edward V's reign was tragically short-lived as his uncle, the Duke of Gloucester, seized power and became Richard III. The image is taken from "A New and Complete History of England" by Temple Sydney, published in London in 1773. It offers a glimpse into the historical intrigue that surrounded Edward V's disappearance and Richard III's rise to power. The young monarch is depicted wearing regal attire with a crown atop his head and an ermine cloak draped around him. Grignion's skilled craftsmanship brings out every intricate detail of this historic figure, capturing both his innocence as a boy king and the weighty responsibilities he bore during his brief reign. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the portrait while emphasizing its timeless quality. This print serves as a valuable piece of British history, shedding light on one of its most enigmatic rulers. It invites viewers to delve into the complex web of political plots and royal machinations that shaped medieval England.
