Politeness of Francis to Henry, 1897
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this satirical illustration by John Leech, we witness a comical exchange between two iconic monarchs of the past. King Francis I of France, portrayed with an exaggeratedly hooked nose and holding a pair of boots, extends a steaming mug towards King Henry VIII of England. The scene suggests that either Henry has just risen from his bed or is preparing to retire for the night, as he is seen wearing a nightcap. Taken from "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett, this print captures the essence of British humor in the late 19th century. Leech's caricature style adds an element of amusement to historical events. The image showcases not only the contrasting appearances but also highlights the politeness exhibited by Francis towards Henry. It offers a glimpse into their relationship during this period in history when both countries had significant influence on European politics. This piece serves as both entertainment and social commentary on power dynamics between nations. By using satire and exaggeration, it challenges traditional notions of royalty while providing insight into societal norms and expectations at that time. John Leech's illustrations are renowned for their wit and cleverness, making them highly sought after among collectors today. This particular print transports us back to an era where kings ruled with pomp and circumstance but were not immune to lighthearted jesting.
