EDITORS COMMENTS
In this satirical illustration titled "Henry wooing Catherine Parr" we are transported back to the 16th century, as depicted by John Leech in 1897. The print captures a pivotal moment in history when King Henry VIII, portrayed here as an obese and bashful figure, kneels before Catherine Parr. This humorous portrayal is part of "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A Beckett. Despite his size, Henry's romantic intentions are clear as he takes the hand of Catherine, his sixth and final wife. Their marriage lasted from 1543 until Henry's death in 1548, with Catherine surviving him for less than a year. The image showcases the contrast between their physical appearances; while Henry is overweight and larger-than-life, Catherine appears slender and elegant. Leech's caricature style adds a touch of humor to this historical scene. Through exaggerated features and playful details, he invites us to reflect on the complexities of love and power during that era. This black-and-white print offers a glimpse into British history through its witty satire. As we observe this comical interaction between monarchs from centuries past, it serves as a reminder that even figures such as kings were not immune to matters of the heart or societal expectations. Leech's artwork continues to entertain viewers today with its clever blend of romance and comedy within the context of royal life in sixteenth-century England.
