EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic King Henry VIII of England and his six wives, immortalized in history. The image is a lithograph from "The National and Domestic History of England" by William Hickman Smith Aubrey, published in London around 1890. It offers a glimpse into the Tudor era, capturing the essence of this infamous monarch and his tumultuous marital life. Arranged in a clockwise fashion, each wife's portrait reveals their unique beauty and individuality. From top to bottom, we see Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard, Anne Boleyn, Catherine of Aragon, Catherine Parr, and Jane Seymour. Their headdresses symbolize their status as queens while also reflecting the fashion trends of the 16th century. King Henry VIII's reign was marked by political intrigue and religious upheaval due to his desire for male heirs. This led him to divorce two wives (Catherine of Aragon and Anne Boleyn), execute two others (Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard), one died shortly after childbirth (Jane Seymour), while only one survived him (Catherine Parr). Each woman played a significant role in shaping English history during this transformative period. This remarkable photograph invites us to delve deeper into the fascinating lives intertwined with that of King Henry VIII. It serves as a testament to both their enduring legacy and our eternal fascination with royalty throughout time.
