EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "King Henry VIII, Archbishop Cranmer and Thomas Cromwell" transports us back to the 16th century in England. The image depicts King Henry VIII seated on his majestic throne, bestowing bibles upon two influential figures of his time: Archbishop Cranmer and Thomas Cromwell. Dressed in regal attire, King Henry wears a resplendent blue cape with ermine lining, a gold doublet, and an exquisite lace collar. His coat of arms proudly adorns the scene as a symbol of his power and authority. This print is derived from the frontispiece of the Great Bible designed by Hans Holbein in 1539. Joseph Strutt's hand-colored engraving beautifully captures this historical moment. It showcases not only the grandeur of King Henry but also highlights the significance of religion during this era. The act of gifting bibles to these esteemed individuals underscores their roles as key players in shaping religious policies under King Henry's reign. The intricate details within this artwork provide a glimpse into both fashion and culture during this period in English history. It serves as a visual testament to the opulence and influence that surrounded figures like King Henry VIII, Archbishop Cranmer, and Thomas Cromwell. As we admire this remarkable piece from our private collection today, we are reminded of its historical importance – it offers us a window into one chapter of England's rich past while showcasing Joseph Strutt's talent for capturing such moments through his engravings.
