EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print showcases the intricately detailed effigy of King Edward III (1312-1377), the eldest son of King Edward II, who ascended to the English throne in 1327 following his father's deposition. Edward III's reign was marked by significant military campaigns against France, which consumed much of his time and resources. The effigy, sculpted in the 13th or 14th century, is a stylized representation of the monarch in his regal attire, clad in a long tunic, hose, and mantle, adorned with a crown and ermine trim. His right hand rests on a sword, symbolizing his power and authority, while his left hand holds a scepter, signifying his royal status. The effigy's lifelike features and intricate details, such as the individual strands of hair and the delicate folds of the fabric, demonstrate the exceptional craftsmanship of the sculptor. King Edward III was married to Philippa of Hainault, and upon his death in 1377, he was buried in the illustrious Westminster Abbey in London, England. This photograph print offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the rich history of England's monarchy, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the past. The image, taken in the 1920s, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of historical artifacts and the importance of preserving the legacy of our ancestors.
