EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Cardinal Wolsey at Boulogne, 1897" captures a fascinating moment in history with a touch of humor. Created by John Leech for "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, this image transports us to the 16th century. In the picture, Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, an influential figure during King Henry VIII's reign, is depicted riding a bucking horse. The cardinal played a significant role in encouraging the king to attack Boulogne in northern France in 1544. This historical event marked an important chapter in Britain's relationship with its neighboring country. With his characteristic wit and satire, John Leech brings this scene to life through his illustrations. The image not only showcases Wolsey's determination but also adds a humorous twist as he struggles to maintain control over the unruly horse. This Victorian-era print offers us a glimpse into both religious and political spheres of that time. It highlights Cardinal Wolsey's position within Roman Catholicism while also shedding light on the power dynamics between church and state during this period. As we admire this artwork from Heritage Images' collection, we are reminded of how art can capture historical moments with creativity and playfulness.
