EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Arderne Tomb" located in St. Peters Church, Elford, Staffordshire, England. The hand-coloured engraving by Edward M. Richardson beautifully captures the intricate details of this historical monument. The tomb dates back to 1848-9 and is adorned with illustrations of angels bearing coats of arms and men and women holding rosaries carved around its base. These carvings depict the legacy of Sir Thomas Arderne (d. 1391) and his wife, Matilda Stafford. Notably, Sir Thomas was a valiant warrior who accompanied the Black Prince into Spain in 1367 and fought at the battle of Poitiers in 1356. Edward M. Richardson meticulously documented the Arderne tomb for his publication "Monumental Effigies and Tombs in Elford Church" released in 1852. His engravings provide an invaluable glimpse into medieval artistry during the Middle Ages. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also the heraldry displayed on this remarkable sculpture. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. Whether you are drawn to medieval history or simply appreciate fine art, this image offers a window into a bygone era where angelic figures, coats of arms, and rosaries intertwine harmoniously within a monumental tomb dedicated to Sir Thomas Arderne and Matilda Stafford
