EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The sons of Edward IV parted from their mother" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this print captures the emotional farewell between two young boys and their distressed mother. Depicting Richard, Duke of Gloster (later known as Richard III), bidding farewell to his nephews on June 16th, 1483, this scene is filled with tension and foreshadowing. The future king's hunched posture hints at the dark path he would eventually take. Meanwhile, Edward IV's sons stand before him innocently, unaware of the fate that awaits them. Taken from "The Comprehensive History of England" published by Gresham Publishing in 1902, this engraving offers a glimpse into one of the most intriguing chapters in British royal history. It serves as a reminder of how power struggles within families can shape destinies and alter nations. Preserved within a private collection and made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this image allows us to delve into the past while appreciating its artistic beauty. As we gaze upon it today, let us reflect on the complexities of human nature and ponder what might have been for these young princes had circumstances been different.
