The Reverend Dr. Shaw Preaching at St. Paul's Cross, London, 1483
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving captures a pivotal moment in English history as the Reverend Dr. Shaw takes to the pulpit at St. Paul's Cross in London during the year 1483. The image depicts an open-air scene with a majestic cathedral serving as the backdrop for this significant event. Dr. Shaw, brother of Edmund Shaw, the esteemed Lord Mayor of London, fearlessly addresses a congregation gathered before him. His sermon boldly challenges King Edward IV's marriage to Elizabeth Woodville and questions its legitimacy, thereby casting doubt on the legitimacy of their sons' claim to the throne. In expressing his support for Richard, Duke of Gloucester (later known as Richard III), Dr. Shaw becomes an influential figure in shaping England's future political landscape. The artist skillfully portrays this historic moment with intricate details that bring it to life: from the reverent expressions on congregants' faces to Dr. Shaw's commanding presence atop the pulpit. Through this engraving, we are transported back in time and given a glimpse into one man's passionate plea for justice and his unwavering loyalty towards Richard III amidst turbulent times filled with intrigue and power struggles. This print is not only a testament to artistic craftsmanship but also serves as a visual reminder of how religion played an integral role in shaping political allegiances during medieval England.
