EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical moment in the British monarchy, capturing the Duke of York, brother to Edward V, resigning by the Queen. Engraved by J. Fittler and illustrated from David Humes' renowned book "The History of England" this print offers a glimpse into a significant event that took place in London back in 1812. Intriguingly, we witness Richard of Shrewsbury (1473-83?), also known as the 1st Duke of York, surrendering his position while being observed by Elizabeth Woodville (1437-1492), his mother and queen consort. The image beautifully portrays their emotional farewell as Richard relinquishes his role within the House of York. With its exquisite detail and masterful engraving technique by John Opie (1761-1807), this artwork is part of The Stapleton Collection and currently resides in a private collection. Its depiction evokes feelings of both admiration for these influential figures and curiosity about their story. As we delve into history through this photograph, we are reminded of the complexities surrounding power dynamics within royal families. This poignant portrayal invites us to reflect on themes such as sacrifice, duty, and familial bonds that have shaped English royalty throughout centuries. Without doubt, this print serves as an invaluable piece for those fascinated with British history or anyone seeking to explore the intricate tapestry woven by past rulers.
