Each Brass Rubbing is a hand made original. Measurements: 28" high X 15" wide
This is a beautiful hand made rubbing of Edward the Black Prince, created with gold wax crayon on a special black rag paper.
This rubbing is taken from a replica of a modern 'brass' and measures 28" high X 15" wide. Engraved from the detail on the Prince's memorial statue in Canterbury Cathedral, this modern 'brass' shows the family's heraldic emblems clearly. The Black Prince was the eldest son of Edward III but died before his father and was never crowned. He is famous for his chivalry and prowess in battle and was given his name because he wore distinctive armour. His son was King Richard II who was the last of the Plantaganet monarchs.
Rubbings like this one, hand made by craft instructors, make unusual and spectacular gifts. Display ideas: it can be hung either from wooden dowels or matted and framed under glass.
Brass rubbing will be shipped rolled up in a strong postal tube.Shipping and handling charges include insurance cover during transit.
Edward, Prince of Wales, (15 June 1330 – 8 June 1376) was the eldest son of King Edward III of England
and Philippa of Hainault, and father to King Richard II of England. He was called Edward of Woodstock
in his early life, after his birthplace, and has more recently been popularly known as The Black Prince
after the distinct plate armour he would wear during campaigns.
An exceptional military leader and popular
during his life, Edward died one year before his father and thus never ruled as king (becoming the first
English Prince of Wales to suffer that fate).The throne passed, instead, to his son Richard, a minor,
upon the death of Edward III.
We offer combined shipping price if you decide to order more than one rubbing from our catalogue if they can be rolled in the same mailing tube.
