EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Smythe Tomb" located in St. Peters Church, Elford, Staffordshire, England. The hand-coloured engraving by Edward M. Richardson beautifully captures the 16th-century alabaster effigies of Sir William Smythe and his two wives, Anne Staunton and Lady Isabel Neville. Sir William Smythe's first wife, Anne Staunton, can be seen on his left wearing a distinctive gable hood. She was the heiress of Elford and played a significant role in their family's history. On his right stands Lady Isabel Neville adorned with a coronet, who was not only a daughter of Lady Joan Ingoldesthorp and Marquis Montagu but also a niece of Warwick the Kingmaker and cousin to King Richard III.
