EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts King Henry VII, the first monarch of the Tudor dynasty in England, granting a charter to the intrepid explorer, John Cabot. Dating back to circa 1497, this evocative print transports us back to the medieval heart of England during the 15th century. Henry VII is shown in regal attire, dressed in a rich, velvet robe adorned with ermine, symbolizing his royal status. He wears a simple yet elegant crown, while a chain of office rests around his neck. Kneeling before him are two boys, likely representatives of Cabot or the city of Bristol, who would benefit from Cabot's successful voyages. The King's court is set against a beautifully tiled floor, adding an air of opulence and grandeur. The presence of a bishop and an archbishop, both wearing their distinctive mitres, suggests the importance of the occasion. Henry VII's expression conveys a sense of determination and focus, as he grants this significant charter to Cabot, marking the beginning of England's exploration of new lands. This remarkable print offers a glimpse into the rich history of England during the Middle Ages, a time of change, discovery, and the rise of a powerful and enduring dynasty. The intricate details, from the textures of the clothing to the intricacies of the floor tiles, bring the scene to life and allow us to connect with the past in a profound way.
