EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving showcases the exquisite alabaster effigies of Lady Isabel Neville and her second husband, Sir William Smythe. Dating back to the 16th century, these remarkable sculptures can be found within the Smythe Tomb at St. Peters Church in Elford, Staffordshire, England. Lady Isabel Neville was a woman of noble lineage, being the daughter of Lady Joan Ingoldesthorp and Marquis Montagu. She was also a niece of Warwick the Kingmaker and a cousin of King Richard III. Her first marriage was to Sir William Huddleston before she wedded Sir William Smythe. The intricate details captured in this print highlight not only their regal attire but also their familial connections through heraldry displayed on their coats of arms. The delicate rosary held by Lady Isabel adds an element of piety to her depiction. Edward M. Richardson meticulously documented these impressive monuments for his publication "Monumental Effigies and Tombs in Elford Church" published in 1852. This print offers us a glimpse into the lives and legacies of two individuals who played significant roles during the tumultuous period known as the Wars of Roses. It serves as a testament to their lasting memory and is an invaluable piece that allows us to appreciate medieval artistry from centuries past.
