EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time, showcasing the iconic figures of Henry VIII, his daughter Queen Mary, and Will Somers. Based on a 16th-century oil painting, this posthumously painted engraving from 1821 brings to life the royal family's legacy. In this portrait, we see Henry VIII, known for his larger-than-life persona and significant impact on English history. Standing beside him is his daughter Queen Mary I, who would later become known as "Bloody Mary" due to her religious persecutions. The inclusion of Will Somers adds an intriguing element to the composition - he was not only a court jester but also served as a trusted confidant to both father and daughter. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every brushstroke seems meticulously preserved. The small dog at their feet symbolizes loyalty and companionship within the Tudor dynasty. Originally housed at Althorp House before finding its current home at the Sarah Campbell Blaffer Foundation in Houston, Texas, this painting holds immense historical significance. Engraved by William Holl after Thomas Uwins' original work for T. F. Dibdins Aedes Althorpianae publication showcases the talent of these artists in capturing such lifelike representations. This portrait serves as a testament to British royalty's grandeur while offering insight into familial relationships during one of England's most transformative periods.
