Tenure, an ancient concept deeply rooted in history and tradition, is explored through various perspectives in this captivating collection. From the mysterious prayer call of Vol. 2 No. 4, 1956-1957, to the ancient civic custom depicted on the mirror of St Michael in the Court of Exchequer at Westminster, tenure's significance is illustrated through engravings of warriors holding their feudal lands by the sword and Trajans Forum's frescoes. Politicians like James Callaghan, Kim Il-sung, and William Henry Harrison have shaped modern interpretations of tenure, with Callaghan outside Number 10, Kim Il-sung leading North Korea, and Harrison serving as the ninth President of the United States. Artokoloro's Tenure Horn of Ivory, Steel Mountings, 1769, and the engraving of The Warriors Tenure Holding the Fief, of the King, by the Sword, further emphasize the enduring nature of this complex and multifaceted concept.
