"Edward II (1284–1327), King of England from 1307, Engraved by the Artist George Vertue" is an engraved portrait of Edward II of England, created by the notable English engraver and antiquary George Vertue (1684–1756). This work is part of Vertue's extensive oeuvre, which includes engravings of historical figures and events, often based on paintings and sculptures from various periods. The portrait of Edward II is significant as it reflects the 18th-century interest in the history and iconography of English monarchs, as well as the period's approach to historical portraiture.

Edward II, son of Edward I, reigned as King of England from 1307 until he was deposed in January 1327. His reign was marked by military defeats, political strife, and eventually his forced abdication and murder. The depiction of Edward II by George Vertue is likely to have been informed by earlier artistic representations and historical records, aiming to provide a visual account of the monarch's appearance and regal bearing.

George Vertue was a leading figure in the Society of Antiquaries of London and is remembered for his dedication to the accurate preservation of Britain's artistic and historical heritage. His engravings were often accompanied by detailed research and documentation, making them valuable resources for historians and art enthusiasts alike.

The engraved portrait of Edward II by George Vertue not only serves as an artistic representation of the historical figure but also as a testament to the 18th-century efforts in historical documentation and the preservation of England's royal lineage through art. The work is an example of how engraving served as a medium for both artistic expression and the dissemination of historical knowledge during the period.
