EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, artist John Leech brings to life the historic meeting between Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. The year is 1464, and love is in the air as these two figures from England's past come together. Edward IV, a handsome king with a mischievous smile, stands before his future queen, Elizabeth Woodville. She exudes grace and charm as she gazes back at him with adoration. The scene is set against the backdrop of an English countryside, adding a touch of romance to their encounter. Leech's comical style adds a lightheartedness to this historical moment, infusing it with humor that resonates even today. This engraving comes from "The Comic History of England". Volume I by Gilbert A A Beckett. It captures not only the essence of courtship but also provides insight into the social dynamics and customs of 15th-century England. As we admire this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness this royal rendezvous firsthand. The image serves as a reminder that even monarchs were not immune to matters of the heart. With its blend of history, artistry, and satire, this print offers us a glimpse into an era long gone while reminding us that love knows no boundaries – not even those imposed by royalty or time itself.
