EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases King Edward IV, a prominent figure in English history during the 15th century. The portrait, dating back to 1785, is part of Harrison's Edition of Rapin's History of England by Paul Rapin de Thoyras. It offers a glimpse into the life and reign of this influential monarch. King Edward IV is depicted wearing traditional medieval attire, complete with an elaborate headdress and regal robes befitting his status as king. His confident gaze exudes power and authority, reflecting his role as the sovereign ruler of England. The image transports us back to a time when Britain was embroiled in political turmoil known as the Wars of the Roses. As a Yorkist king, Edward IV played a significant role in this conflict between two rival branches of the Plantagenet dynasty - Lancaster and York. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of the rich heritage that shaped modern-day Britain. It provides us with valuable insights into not only Edward IV's reign but also the social customs and fashion trends prevalent during that era. As we admire this remarkable engraving created by an anonymous artist, we are reminded once again of King Edward IV's enduring legacy and his impact on British monarchy. This print stands as both an artistic representation and historical documentation worthy of appreciation for its contribution to our understanding of England's past.
