Elegant 1786 Engraved Portrait of King Edward IV - Royal Majesty
About the Item
The image is an original engraved portrait, depicting King Edward IV of England. This engraving was created for "Harrington’s Edition of Rapin’s History of England."
The text below the portrait indicates that the image was made from an "Ancient Painting now at Kensington Palace," which suggests that the source for this engraving was an older portrait of the monarch held in a royal collection.
Edward IV reigned during the 15th century and was a key figure in the Wars of the Roses, a series of civil wars for control of the throne of England. He was a member of the House of York and had two reigns, from 1461 to 1470 and then from 1471 until his death in 1483. Edward was noted for his successful military campaigns and for bringing relative stability to the kingdom after a long period of dynastic turmoil.
The portrait was published as directed by the act on July 1st, 1786, which again indicates a copyright registration.
