EDITORS COMMENTS
King Henry VI of England (1421-1471) and his queen, Margaret of Anjou (1430-1482), are depicted in this beautiful handcoloured copperplate engraving by Giarre and Stanghi from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1847. The image captures a moment of quiet reflection as the king kneels in prayer, with his queen standing beside him, her hand gently resting on his shoulder for support. The courtier, dressed in the fashion of the time, stands behind them, perhaps ready to attend to their needs. Henry VI, who ruled England from 1422 to 1461 and 1470 to 1471, was known for his piety and weak leadership. Margaret, a strong and influential queen, is often credited with helping to maintain order during her husband's reign, particularly during the civil war known as the Wars of the Roses. The intricate details of the royal couple's clothing and accessories are beautifully rendered in this engraving. Henry wears a richly embroidered robe and a jeweled crown, while Margaret's gown is adorned with intricate patterns and a fur-lined mantle. The courtier's attire, with its voluminous sleeves and ornate belt, is also a testament to the fashion of the time. This historical illustration provides a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the English court during the 15th century, as well as a reminder of the complex political dynamics that shaped the period. The image is a valuable resource for scholars of medieval history and fashion, offering insights into the visual culture of the time and the role of the monarchy in shaping it.
