Jane Shore.
[n.d., c. 1660.]
Very rare mezzotint. 130 x 115mm (5 x 4½"). Trimmed to image and laid on card. Some creases.
Jane Shore (c.1445-1527), mistress to Edward IV. Thomas More’s 'History of King Richard III' quotes Edward IV's claim to have had three concubines, ‘the merriest, the wiliest, and the holiest harlots in his realm’, Shore being the merriest. She enjoyed a considerable literary afterlife, as the subject of poems, ballads, historical novels, and plays; the most notable of the latter was Nicholas Rowe's Tragedy of Jane Shore, first produced in 1714. This is a copy of an anonymous painting in King's College, Cambridge, of which there is a near-identical painting at Eton College.
