EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Mary I" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into the history of England. The print showcases an exquisite portrait of Mary I, also known as Bloody Mary, who reigned as Queen of England from 1553 until her death in 1558. The artist behind this remarkable piece remains unknown but their skill is evident in the intricate details that bring Mary I to life on paper. Her regal presence is undeniable as she gazes confidently at the viewer, adorned in royal attire befitting her status. This engraving was created for George Courtney Lyttleton's book, "The History of England" published by J Stratford in 1805. It serves as one of many beautiful engravings that embellish the pages and provide visual context to accompany Lyttleton's written account. As we delve into English history through this image, it is impossible not to acknowledge its connection with France. During Mary I's reign, she married Philip II of Spain who had strong ties with France due to his Habsburg lineage. This union further influenced political dynamics between these two powerful nations during that period. Through this print, we are transported back in time and reminded of the rich historical tapestry that shapes our understanding of both English and French culture today. Bridgeman Images has preserved this stunning artwork for future generations to appreciate and learn from – a true testament to their commitment to preserving fine art heritage.
