EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Players Cigarette Card featuring Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII. The card, possibly created in the early 20th century, is based on a portrait from around 1530. Catherine of Aragon was born in 1485 to Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain. In 1509, she married Henry VIII (1491-1547), becoming his first wife. However, her inability to produce a male heir led to their divorce in 1533 and ultimately resulted in England's break from the Roman Catholic Church. The portrait captured on this cigarette card portrays Catherine as an elegant monarch wearing a stunning velvet dress adorned with intricate jewelry. Her regal headdress adds to her majestic presence while highlighting her Spanish heritage. This image not only reflects the fashion and style of the sixteenth century but also symbolizes the complex dynamics within royal marriages during that era. Catherine's story serves as a reminder of how personal desires and political ambitions often intertwined within royal unions. Although this print does not mention its commercial use or affiliation with any specific company, it provides us with an intriguing glimpse into history through artistry and craftsmanship. It allows us to appreciate both the beauty of Catherine herself and the skillful reproduction techniques employed by unknown artists who sought to immortalize her captivating presence for future generations.
