Henry VIII, King of England, 1525 (1824). Henry (1491-1547) succeeded his father, Henry VII, in 1509. Obsessed with passing the throne on to a male heir, he had six wives in the course of his reign, none of whom provided him with a son who survived. In divorcing his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, in 1533, Henry severed the English church from Rome. From Ancient Armour, by Samuel Rush Mayrick, 1824

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry VIII, the renowned King of England during the 16th century. The image, captured in 1824 by Samuel Rush Mayrick, depicts a powerful and imposing monarch mounted on his horse, dressed in an exquisite suit of armor. Henry VIII (1491-1547) ascended to the throne in 1509 following his father's reign and became known for his relentless pursuit of a male heir. Despite having six wives throughout his reign, none were able to provide him with a surviving son. This obsession led to significant changes within England as he divorced his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, in 1533 and severed ties between the English church and Rome. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this historical figure who played a pivotal role in shaping British history. With regal poise and determination etched onto his face, King Henry VIII is depicted holding a lance while wearing an intricately designed helmet. The photograph not only highlights the king himself but also provides insight into medieval warfare with its inclusion of horses adorned for battle. The attention to detail brings forth an aura of royalty and power that surrounded this Tudor sovereign. As part of Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, this print serves as both an artistic representation and historical documentation that allows us to delve into one of Britain's most iconic rulers from centuries past.
