EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled "Henry receives news of John's treachery AD 1189" we are transported back in time to a pivotal moment in English history. The print, created by the talented artist Henry Marriott Paget, captures the intensity and drama of the scene. The image depicts King Henry bedridden, surrounded by his loyal attendants who bring him distressing news of his son John's betrayal. The costumes worn by these figures reflect the medieval era, adding an authentic touch to the artwork. Their expressions reveal their concern and urgency as they discuss the treacherous actions that threaten both their kingdom and their king. As we examine this print closely, we can almost feel the tension in the air. The weapons held tightly by some of Henry's attendants serve as a reminder of the gravity of John's actions and hint at potential conflict on the horizon. Paget masterfully captures not only historical accuracy but also emotion through his intricate engravings. Through this artwork, we gain insight into a crucial moment when trust is shattered and demands for justice arise. This lithograph serves as a visual representation of an important event in English history – one that would shape future alliances and treaties. It invites us to delve deeper into Cassell's History of England published around 1920s while appreciating Paget's skillful interpretation through artistry.
