EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph depicts the regal attire of Elizabeth Woodville, the Queen consort of Edward V and Richard III, during their brief reigns from 1483 to 1485. The image is based on various historical sources, including portraits of Elizabeth Woodville as queen of Edward IV, descriptions of Anne Neville's dress as queen of Richard III in the illuminated Royal manuscript 16F2, and the effigy of Lady Peyton in Isleham Church, Cambridgeshire. Elizabeth is shown seated in a medieval carved chair adorned with lions on the arms, a symbol of royal power. Her dress is a stunning striped design, with a fur-trimmed mantle featuring a wide collar. The tall headdress she wears is topped with a long veil, adding an air of mystery and elegance to her appearance. The intricate details of the lithograph, from the delicate folds of her gown to the ornate decorations on the chair, transport us back to the opulent courts of the late 15th century. The historical accuracy of the image is further emphasized by its inclusion in Costumes of British Ladies from the Time of William the First to the Reign of Queen Victoria, a renowned historical record published in London in 1840. This print offers a glimpse into the rich history of English monarchy and the intricate fashions of the time, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical art or costume studies.
