EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a watercolour sketch of Edward IV, the influential King of England during the 15th century. Reigning from 1461 to 1483, with a brief interruption in the period of 1470-1471, Edward IV left an indelible mark on English history. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Cassandra Austen, elder sister and confidante of renowned novelist Jane Austen. Cassandra's delicate brushstrokes bring to life the regal presence of Edward IV as he gazes pensively into the distance. Dressed in exquisite royal attire, his hat and jacket exude elegance and authority. The attention to detail in this portrait is striking; every fold in his clothing and every line on his face has been meticulously captured by Cassandra's skilled hand. The inclusion of this sketch in Jane Austen's History of England speaks volumes about their close relationship and shared passion for storytelling. It offers a glimpse into both sisters' fascination with historical figures and events that shaped their nation. As we admire this snapshot from centuries past, we are transported back to a time when monarchs held immense power over their subjects. Edward IV stands as a symbol of strength and resilience amidst political turmoil, leaving an enduring legacy that still resonates today. This print serves as a testament not only to Cassandra Austen's artistic talent but also to her deep connection with her celebrated sister Jane Austen – two remarkable women who made significant contributions to literature and art alike.
