This is an original 1933 color offset lithograph of Edward V of England, who reigned for only two months before being placed in the Tower of London for supposedly his own safety. He is thought to have been murdered by the hands of Richard III. If he was murdered at the age of fifteen like it is thought, he was the shortest-lived English monarch.
