EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in the life of Henry VI, the only English monarch to have been crowned King of France. Created by Charles Grignion in 1773, this engraving is based on Samuel Wale's original artwork from the 18th century. Henry VI, described as timid, shy, and well-intentioned, is depicted wearing an intricately embroidered cloak and hat befitting his royal status. The attention to detail in his attire reflects the elegance and grandeur associated with kingship during the 15th century. The portrait exudes a sense of regality as Henry VI holds a sceptre symbolizing his sovereign power. His expression appears contemplative, perhaps reflecting his aversion to warfare and violence that characterized his reign. This image is taken from "A New and Complete History of England" by Temple Sydney, published in London in 1773. It serves as a visual representation of an important era in English history when Henry VI ruled over both England and France. Through this photo print, we are transported back in time to witness the presence of one man who held immense political influence over two nations. It stands as a testament to the enduring fascination with monarchy and offers us a glimpse into the life of this enigmatic king.
