EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases King Edward VI of England as a young man, exuding regal elegance in his velvet cap and doublet. With an orb and sceptre in hand, he embodies the power and authority associated with monarchy. The emblems depicted within the artwork provide fascinating insights into the historical context of this period. The presence of the Protector Duke of Somerset symbolizes the influential role he played during Edward's reign, while the reference to the invasion of Scotland highlights significant military events that shaped English history. The inclusion of Protestant bishops signifies religious reforms taking place at that time. Additionally, this artwork commemorates a notable union between Lady Jane Grey and Lord Guilford Dudley through symbolic imagery. These intricate details offer viewers a glimpse into important political alliances and marriages during Edward's rule. Handcoloured steel engraving brings life to Mary Ann Rundall's illustration from her book "A Symbolical History of England". Published in 1839, it serves as both an educational tool for mnemonic emblems and a visual representation of England's rich history up until William IV's reign. This remarkable piece not only captures King Edward VI's youthful charm but also provides valuable historical information through its symbolic illustrations. It stands as a testament to art's ability to preserve moments in time for generations to come.
