EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of Henry VI, the enigmatic King of England and France during the tumultuous 15th century. The image, created in 1830 by an unknown artist, transports us back to a time of political strife and conflict. Henry VI's reign was marked by his inheritance of the Hundred Years War and subsequent civil war that erupted into the Wars of the Roses. This period of unrest ultimately led to his deposition in 1461, only for him to regain power briefly from 1470 to 1471 before meeting his tragic fate. The portrait captures Henry VI in profile, donning regal attire including a chain of office around his neck. His expression is contemplative yet resolute, reflecting both the weighty responsibilities he bore as monarch and the challenges he faced during his rule. Displayed against a simple backdrop, this engraving exudes an air of elegance and historical significance. It serves as a visual testament to one man's struggle for power amidst turbulent times in British history. Preserved within "Biographical Illustrations" by Alfred Howard, this image offers viewers a glimpse into an era long past while reminding us that even great leaders are not immune to adversity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we cannot help but be drawn into Henry VI's story – one filled with ambition, conflict, and ultimately tragedy.
