EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts the tragic figures of Prince Edward V and his younger brother, Prince Richard, Duke of York, also known as the Princes in the Tower. The brothers, both dressed in black velvet, are shown in the middle ages, around the 1480s, during the tumultuous 15th century in England. The princes, who were the legitimate heirs to the English throne, mysteriously disappeared from the Tower of London in 1483, during the reign of their uncle, King Richard III. The image, which is believed to be from the 1800s, is reminiscent of the Raphael Tuck and Sons' series of historical prints. The princes are portrayed as innocent and vulnerable victims, their young faces etched with a sense of sadness and uncertainty. The somber background adds to the overall mood of the print, which serves as a poignant reminder of the uncertain fate that befell these two young royals. The mystery of the Princes in the Tower has captivated historians and the public for centuries. Some believe they were murdered by their uncle, King Richard III, while others argue that they may have survived and gone into hiding. Regardless of the truth, the image of these two brothers, lost in time and history, continues to haunt the imagination and fuel the fascination with the complex and often brutal world of medieval England.
