EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts Elizabeth Woodville, future wife of King Edward IV, petitioning for the return of her lands. The image transports us back to the 15th century, a time of political intrigue and power struggles in England. Elizabeth is portrayed as a strong and determined woman, standing before her future husband with grace and conviction. The artist skillfully captures the tension in the scene, emphasizing Elizabeth's plea through her body language and facial expression. Her outstretched hand holds a document symbolizing her legal claim to the lands that were taken from her family. King Edward IV sits on his throne, seemingly deep in thought as he listens to his beloved's request. The historical context surrounding this moment adds depth to our understanding of Elizabeth's struggle. As one of the most influential women of her time, she faced numerous challenges due to her marriage into royalty. This engraving serves as a reminder of both Elizabeth's resilience and the complexities within medieval society. The fine details and intricate lines showcase the talent of the unknown English School artist who created this piece during the 18th century. It was later included in "The New Impartial and Complete History of England" by Edward Barnard (Alex Hogg), published around 1790. Overall, this print offers an intriguing glimpse into an important chapter in British history while honoring Elizabeth Woodville's determination to reclaim what rightfully belonged to her.
