EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, where we witness a historic encounter between Lord Rivers, William Caxton, and King Edward IV of England. The monarch himself is adorned in regal attire, wearing an imperial arched diadem that signifies his authority. His cape of ermine exudes elegance and prestige, while his cloak boasts a wider border made from the same luxurious fur. In this scene captured by Emily Jessie Ashdown for her book "British Costume during 19 Centuries" we see the convergence of literature and power. William Caxton, known as the first English printer, stands before Edward IV alongside Lord Rivers. As a pioneer in printing technology during medieval times, Caxton played a crucial role in spreading knowledge through books. The image portrays not only the individuals involved but also provides insight into fashion trends of that era. The intricate details on their clothing highlight the craftsmanship prevalent during this period. Through this photograph print from Heritage Images collection, we are transported to a time when kings held courtly audiences with influential figures like Lord Rivers and innovative minds like William Caxton. It serves as a reminder of how artistry and literature have always been intertwined with politics and power throughout history.
