EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Sir Henry Norris picks up Anne Boleyn's handkerchief" transports us back to the scandalous Tudor court of 16th century England. Created by Allan Stewart in 1923 for Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation, this illustration offers a glimpse into a tumultuous era filled with intrigue and power struggles. The scene depicted showcases Sir Henry Norris, groom to King Henry VIII, bending down to retrieve Queen Anne Boleyn's dropped handkerchief. The air is thick with tension as rumors circulate about their alleged affair. With meticulous detail and skillful use of light and shadow, Stewart captures the essence of this scandalous moment in history. Intriguingly, this lithograph from the private collection known as The Stapleton Collection hints at chivalry amidst royal turmoil. It reminds us that even within the confines of courtly politics and personal scandals, acts of gallantry could still be found. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in British history. It serves as a reminder that behind every great ruler lies a web of secrets and desires that shape their reigns. This artwork invites us to explore not only the scandalous nature of royalty but also the complexities of human relationships within historical contexts.
