EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The only uncrowned king of England: Edward V" transports us back to a significant moment in English history. Created by Richard Caton Woodville II, this print captures the young Edward V and his uncle, Richard Crookback, as they are received outside London by the Lord Mayor on May 4th, 1483. Edward V's story is one of tragedy and mystery. As the rightful heir to the throne after his father's death, he was never crowned king due to a series of political machinations orchestrated by his ambitious uncle. This image immortalizes a fleeting moment when Edward's destiny still hung in balance. Woodville masterfully depicts the solemnity and uncertainty surrounding this pivotal event. The detailed engraving showcases the grandeur of London with its majestic architecture and bustling streets. The expressions on Edward V's face and Richard Crookback's countenance hint at their contrasting emotions - hopefulness mixed with trepidation. Published in 1902 for an issue of Illustrated London News Coronation Ceremony Record Number, this artwork serves as both historical documentation and artistic interpretation. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era marked by power struggles within royal circles. As we gaze upon this lithograph from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that sometimes even those who do not wear crowns can leave an indelible mark on history.
