EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving captures a pivotal moment in English history, as Dr Ralph Shaw stands at St Paul's Cross in London, delivering a sermon that would change the course of the nation. It is 1483, and Richard, Duke of Gloucester, has set his sights on the throne held by his young nephew King Edward V. With calculated precision, Shaw uses his position as a preacher to signal Richard's intention to depose the innocent king and claim power for himself. In this detailed illustration from The New, Impartial and Complete History of England by Edward Barnard (Alex Hogg), we witness the tension and intrigue that surrounded this fateful event. The artist skillfully depicts Dr Ralph Shaw commanding attention with fervor while Richard lurks in the background like a shadowy figure plotting his ascent to power. This image not only showcases the political machinations of fifteenth-century England but also highlights the influence wielded by religious figures during this era. It serves as a reminder of how religion was often intertwined with politics and how individuals could exploit their positions within religious institutions for personal gain. As we gaze upon this engraving from centuries past, we are transported back to an era filled with ambition, betrayal, and treachery – where even sacred spaces became battlegrounds for power-hungry men seeking control over thrones.
