EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Henry VIII. and Catherine of Aragon, 1897" captures a humorous moment from history with its satirical illustration by John Leech. In this image, we see a portly King Henry VIII of England running alongside his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. The scene is taken from "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, published in London in 1897. This caricatured portrayal showcases the larger-than-life persona of King Henry VIII, known for his extravagant lifestyle and multiple marriages. Despite their historical significance as one of the most famous royal couples in British history, the artist chooses to depict them engaging in an unexpected activity - running. With a touch of humor and satire, Leech's illustration pokes fun at Henry's weight while highlighting the contrast between his imposing figure and Catherine's more slender frame. This playful representation adds a lighthearted twist to their story. "The Comic History of England" aimed to entertain readers through witty illustrations that brought historical events to life with a comedic touch. By combining artistry with humor, it provided an alternative perspective on well-known figures like Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. This print serves as both a visual delight and an intriguing glimpse into how historical figures can be reimagined through artistic interpretation.
