EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "King Henry VIII thinking of his wives" transports us back to the intriguing world of Tudor England. Created by Charles Harrison in 1920, this print is part of a series illustrating A Humorous History of England. In this particular scene, we find King Henry VIII lost in deep contemplation as he reflects upon his six ill-fated marriages. With a furrowed brow and an air of melancholy, the king's thoughts wander through the tumultuous relationships that defined his reign. Each wife holds her own significance in history, and their names echo through time: Katharine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Katharine Howard. The weighty decisions made by Henry VIII regarding these women forever altered not only his life but also the course of English history. Harrison's artistic style adds a touch of humor to this somber subject matter. Through clever visual storytelling and witty details scattered throughout the composition, he invites us to explore both the tragic and comical aspects surrounding one of Britain's most infamous monarchs. This lithograph serves as a reminder that even powerful figures like King Henry VIII were not immune to love's complexities and human frailties. It captures a moment frozen in time when one man grapples with regrets while contemplating the choices that shaped his legacy for centuries to come.
