EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 15th century, capturing a moment of intrigue and accusation in England's history. The image depicts "The Duke of Gloucester (afterwards Richard III) in Council" showcasing the Duke seated amongst his advisors, his shriveled arm prominently displayed. It is said that he accuses the Queen Dowager of Edward IV, attributing his affliction to her alleged witchcraft. The composition exudes an air of tension as we witness this historic event unfold within the confines of an elegant interior. The Duke's body language reveals both vulnerability and determination, while those around him appear attentive yet cautious. This monochrome portrait allows us to immerse ourselves in a bygone era, where power struggles and political machinations were commonplace. George Frederick Raymond's book, "A New Universal and Impartial History of England" serves as a valuable source for understanding this pivotal period. Through this photograph, we gain insight into the complexities of British monarchy during the 18th century. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from J. Cooke's collection, we are reminded not only of Richard III's reign but also how accusations rooted in superstition could shape destinies. This print transports us back through time, offering a glimpse into one man's struggle for truth amidst whispers of witchcraft and royal intrigue.
