EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured steel engraving depicts a whimsical and anachronistic scene of King Henry VIII of England celebrating May Day with his first queen, Catherine of Aragon. The image, created by John Leech in 1880 for Gilbert Abbott A Beckett's Comic History of England, showcases Henry in an unexpected Victorian outfit, donning a top hat, coat, chain breeches, and boots. Catherine, adorned in a veil and long-trained dress, holds court as her husband leads a merry May Day procession. The scene is set in the lush Epping Forest, where the king and his queen, accompanied by shepherds and pages, engage in a mock hunt. Henry, astride a horse, brandishes a crook and chases a monk, who flees in terror, adding a touch of humor to the occasion. The gold goblet, candlestick, and platter in the foreground further emphasize the festive atmosphere. Despite the playful nature of the scene, the image carries an underlying tone of the suppression of the Catholic faith during Henry's reign, which began in 1509 and culminated in the Dissolution of the Monasteries around 1540. The monk's fearful expression and hasty escape may symbolize the turmoil and uncertainty that accompanied the king's religious reforms. This charming and intriguing image offers a unique perspective on the life and reign of King Henry VIII, blending history, humor, and artistry in an unforgettable way.
