The Black Prince as Waiter to King John, c1860
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a comical and satirical print that captures a humorous moment in English history. Created by artist John Leech, this engraving depicts Edward of Woodstock, also known as the Black Prince, serving as a waiter to King John. Edward of Woodstock was the eldest son of King Edward III and played a significant role in the Hundred Years' War. However, this lighthearted illustration portrays him in an unexpected light – serving his royal father figure with wit and charm. The print's monochrome style adds to its historical appeal, transporting viewers back to 19th-century England. It showcases Leech's talent for caricature and his ability to capture both physical likeness and comedic essence. This artwork is part of "The Comic History of England". Volume I by Gilbert A. A Beckett – a publication that humorously narrates key moments from English history through illustrations like this one. With its blend of artistry, satire, and historical context, "The Black Prince as Waiter to King John" offers us a glimpse into the lighter side of royalty during medieval times. It reminds us that even figures as revered as kings can be subjects of playful mockery while highlighting the enduring popularity of British literature and comedy throughout centuries.
