EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment, the Meeting of Stephen of Blois and Prince Henry of Anjou at Wallingford. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, is now part of a private collection. The image depicts two powerful figures standing side by side against a backdrop of soldiers and a flag. Stephen of Blois (c. 1097-1154), known as King Stephen of England, meets with Prince Henry of Anjou (1133-1189), who would later become Henry II, the first king from the House of Plantagenet. The meeting took place during the Treaty of Wallingford in 1153 when Henry was acknowledged as Stephen's successor. This pivotal event marked a turning point in English history as it paved the way for Henry to ascend to the throne upon Stephen's death in 1154. Stephen, wearing royal attire, stands tall next to young Prince Henry who carries himself with confidence beyond his years. Their meeting symbolizes not only their individual roles but also represents the transition from one era to another within Great Britain's monarchy. This remarkable photograph provides us with a glimpse into this historic encounter between two influential figures - one passing on power and authority while another prepares to take up that mantle. It serves as a testament to both their legacies and their impact on British history.
