EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving depicts a historic moment in European diplomacy: the meeting between King Henry VIII of England and King Francis I of France at the Field of the Cloth of Gold on 7 June 1520. The two monarchs, both resplendent in their regal attire, exchange greetings on horseback amidst a grand celebration. Henry VIII, dressed in a top hat, chainmail coat, and breeches, wears a veil to protect himself from the sun. His queen, Catherine of Aragon, observes the scene from a nearby parasol-shaded balcony, dressed in a voluminous gown and train. In the background, knights in armor and heralds gather for a tournament, with coats of arms hanging from the trees as symbols of their respective nations. Above Francis I, a gold dragon flies, a nod to the French monarch's heraldic emblem. In the foreground, an English bulldog and a French poodle meet, adding a touch of whimsy to this anachronistic scene. This engraving is an illustration from Gilbert Abbott A Beckett's Comic History of England, published by Bradbury, Agnew & Co. in London in 1880. The illustration is the work of John Leech, who masterfully captures the grandeur and humor of the event. While the scene itself dates back to the early 16th century, the Victorian-era outfits and anachronistic details add a delightful layer of intrigue and amusement to this image.
