1470 1483 Crowned Elder Hovering Length Princes Shown

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts Edward V, the elder of the two young princes in the Tower of London, who were mysteriously disappeared in 1483. Edward was the son of King Edward IV and his queen, Elizabeth Woodville, and was only eleven years old when his father died in April 1483. Following Edward IV's death, his brother Richard, Duke of Gloucester, seized the throne, placing Edward V under his guardianship in the Tower of London. However, just two months later, Edward and his younger brother, Richard Duke of York, were reportedly found dead in the Tower, an event that has been shrouded in controversy and conspiracy theories for centuries. In this print, Edward V is shown in regal attire, gazing upwards as if in anticipation of his imminent coronation. The crown hovers above his head, symbolizing the promise of kingship that was tragically never fulfilled. The image underscores the sense of loss and tragedy that surrounds the story of the Princes in the Tower, a pivotal moment in English history that continues to captivate the public imagination. Dated between 1470 and 1483, this print offers a poignant reminder of the brief and uncertain reign of Edward V, who was born to rule but whose fate was ultimately sealed within the walls of the Tower.
