EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King Richard III, a prominent figure in English history. The portrait, dating back to 1786, is part of Harrison's Edition of Rapin's History of England by Paul Rapin de Thoyras. In the image, we see a male monarch dressed in medieval attire, adorned with a regal headdress and wearing an elegant hat. King Richard III was a significant player during the tumultuous War of the Roses that ravaged England between 1455 and 1485. As a Yorkist king, he belonged to the House of York and played a crucial role in this dynastic conflict against the Lancastrians. His reign marked one of the most controversial periods in British monarchy. The artist behind this engraving remains anonymous but has skillfully captured Richard III's commanding presence and royal demeanor. This monochrome depiction transports us back to the 15th century, allowing us to glimpse into an era filled with political intrigue and power struggles. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from centuries past, it serves as a reminder of Britain's rich heritage and its complex tapestry woven through wars, royalty, and shifting alliances.
