EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the Offer of the kingship to Richard, Duke of Gloucester, at Baynards Castle in London on June 26th, 1483. The color lithograph by Sigismund Christian Hubert Goetze showcases this pivotal event during the Middle Ages. Intriguingly, this illustration was created for Cassells History of the British People and offers viewers a glimpse into Britain's rich past. The image portrays soldiers and English nobles gathered around as Richard III is presented with the crown symbolizing his ascent to power. This scene takes us back to the Wars of the Roses era when England was embroiled in a fierce struggle for control between two rival factions: Yorkists and Lancastrians. Richard III played a prominent role in these conflicts as he belonged to the Yorkist camp. Baynards Castle itself serves as an atmospheric backdrop for this historic occasion. Located in London, it witnessed many key events throughout its existence before being destroyed during the Great Fire of London in 1666. As we admire this artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported back to 15th-century Britain—a time filled with political intrigue and royal aspirations. This image allows us to delve into our shared heritage while appreciating both German artist Goetze's skillful rendering and Fine Art Finder's dedication to preserving historical treasures like these prints.
