EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British history - Richard II, the King of England during the 14th century. Created by Charles Grignion in 1773, this engraving showcases Richard II at a young age, holding his sceptre and orb with an air of regal authority. The direct gaze of the monarch towards the camera exudes confidence and power. Richard II ascended to the throne at just ten years old after his father's death. However, his reign was not without challenges, as he faced the infamous Peasants Revolt of 1381. This rebellion tested his leadership skills and marked a significant turning point in English society. The portrait is framed within a decorative border, adding to its artistic appeal. It originally appeared in "A New and Complete History of England" by Temple Sydney, published by J. Cooke in London. This image offers us a glimpse into both medieval and eighteenth-century Britain through Charles Grignion's masterful engraving technique. It serves as a reminder of our rich historical heritage and the struggles faced by those who held power centuries ago.
