EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, depicting a pivotal moment in English history. The scene portrays Richard Duke of Gloucester accusing Elizabeth Woodville, Queen consort to King Edward IV, and her mother of witchcraft. This accusation was made by Richard III while he was still the Duke of Gloucester, driven by his ambition for power. The engraving beautifully captures the tension and drama of this historic event. The intricate details in the artwork showcase the skills of Charles Grignion the Elder, who masterfully brings this story to life. The group gathered indoors adds depth to the composition, with men engrossed in gossiping about these scandalous allegations. The image is taken from "A New and Complete History of England" written by Temple Sydney in 1773. It serves as a visual representation of an important chapter in English literature and politics during that time period. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back centuries ago when monarchs held immense power and accusations could shape destinies. It reminds us how historical events can be captured through artistry and preserved for generations to come.
