EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Occleve the poet and King Henry V" takes us back to the early 15th century. The renowned poet Thomas Hoccleve is depicted presenting his book of poems to a young Henry, Prince of Wales, who would later become the legendary King Henry V. The scene showcases the rich medieval culture with its elaborate clothing and regal atmosphere. The prince is dressed in a magnificent houppelande, a voluminous robe adorned with dagged and fur-lined sleeves. His attire reflects the fashion of that era, exuding elegance and sophistication. Hoccleve kneels before the future king, humbly offering his literary masterpiece as a token of respect and admiration. This powerful image captures not only their meeting but also symbolizes the connection between literature and royalty during this period. Emily Jessie Ashdown's artistic rendition beautifully brings this historical moment to life. Through her skillful use of monochrome tones, she emphasizes both the grandeur of royal dress and the solemnity of Hoccleve's gesture. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate exchange between two influential figures from English history. It serves as a reminder of how artistry can bridge gaps between different realms - poetry connecting with monarchy - leaving an indelible mark on our cultural heritage for centuries to come.
