EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Katharina Howard, the fifth wife and Queen of Henry VIII of England. Created in 1933 by an unknown artist, this circular image is a reproduction from "Gestalten Der Weltgeschichte" a book featuring cigarette-card portrait miniatures of significant figures throughout history. Katharina Howard, also known as Catherine Howard, lived during the sixteenth century and was famously referred to by Henry VIII as the rose without a thorn. However, despite this endearing nickname, her life took a tragic turn when she was accused of adultery and subsequently beheaded. The original miniature that inspired this print was painted by Hans Holbein, renowned for his exquisite attention to detail. The photograph beautifully captures Katharina's regal presence and delicate features. Adorned with stunning jewelry including an intricate necklace, she epitomizes elegance and grace. This historical artifact provides us with insight into the Tudor era and the tumultuous reign of Henry VIII. It serves as a reminder that even those closest to power were not immune to its consequences. Preserved through time, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind Hans Holbein's work and Katharina Howard's enduring legacy as one of England's ill-fated queens.
