EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Richard III. and his celebrated Charger, White Surrey" is a remarkable piece of art created by John Leech in the 19th century. The image portrays a comical caricature of Richard III, the infamous King of England from the Plantagenet dynasty. In this satirical engraving from "The Comic History of England" we see Richard III mounted on his renowned horse, White Surrey. The exaggerated features and humorous depiction add an element of light-heartedness to this historical scene. Leech's artistic talent shines through as he captures the essence of Richard III's reign with wit and creativity. The monochrome style adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the details that make this artwork truly unique. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness a moment in English history where monarchy meets humor. It serves as a reminder that even powerful figures like kings can be subject to satire and caricature.
