EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Thomas Stanley, the Earl of Derby, a prominent English nobleman from the early to mid-19th century. The portrait depicts a distinguished aristocrat with a magnificent beard, exuding power and authority. Thomas Stanley's historical significance is highlighted by his involvement in the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485. Alongside his brother William, he infamously betrayed King Richard III during this pivotal moment in British history. Legend has it that Thomas retrieved Richard's lost crown from the battlefield and placed it on the head of his stepson, who would later become King Henry VII. The original painting by Hans Holbein captures every intricate detail of this influential figure's appearance and attire. This engraving by Edward Francis Finden faithfully reproduces Holbein's masterpiece, which now resides in the esteemed collection of The Right Honourable The Earl of Derby. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are transported back to an era defined by political intrigue and royal rivalries. It serves as a reminder not only of Thomas Stanley's role within British nobility but also reflects broader themes such as loyalty, betrayal, and ambition that shaped England during the fifteenth century. This print is a testament to our rich cultural heritage and offers us an opportunity to delve into the fascinating lives of those who have left their mark on history.
