EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic Henry Grace a Dieu, also known as Great Harry, an iconic English carrack or great ship from the 16th century. Built between 1512 and 1514 at Woolwich Dockyard, she was a proud member of King Henry VIII's formidable fleet alongside the famous Mary Rose. The photograph captures her in all her glory, braving the elements on a windy day at sea. The image transports us back to a bygone era when ships like Henry Grace a Dieu ruled the waves. Its grandeur and size are awe-inspiring, symbolizing England's naval power during that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable vessel sailing through open waters, we can almost feel the salty breeze against our faces. The photograph is part of The Pageant of Kingship cigarette card series issued by Peter Jackson Ltd in 1937. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece capturing not only the physicality of this magnificent warship but also its metaphorical significance within English history. Through this image, we are reminded of England's maritime heritage and its rich legacy in shaping world events during the 16th century. It stands as a testament to King Henry VIII's ambition for naval supremacy and his desire to project his authority across vast oceans. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the craftsmanship involved in constructing such an impressive vessel while marveling at its enduring beauty even centuries later.
