EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the famous historical event known as the "Field Of The Cloth Of Gold". With a touch of humor and satire, Richard Doyle's aquatint brings to life this amusing meeting between King Francis I of France and King Henry VIII of England. Set against a backdrop of opulence and splendor, the cartoon-like depiction showcases the comical interactions between these two iconic figures. The rejected cartoons from Thomas McLean and Frederick Syrett's publication, Selections from the Rejected Cartoons (1848), provide an entertaining glimpse into this momentous occasion. Cardinal Wolsey, ever-present in his humorous role as mediator, adds an extra layer of amusement to the scene. Doyle's satirical drawing cleverly pokes fun at both English and German cultures by incorporating elements such as tents representing their respective nations. The exaggerated caricatures highlight not only historical events but also serve as scathing satire on political matters. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary gathering unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that history can be both educational and entertaining when viewed through a lens of wit and creativity.
