Potter's Wax Museum- Edward IV

(1442-1483)

This elaborate wax figure of Edward IV, twice King of England highlights the attitude and adornment of the king whose reign was so much associated with violence.


A closer view of the wax figure. Known as a tall and handsome man, Edward stands here stern and imposing.

Some technological advances which happened during his reign include the Caxton printing press and the manufacturing of silk.
