EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a fascinating moment in history, featuring the iconic figure of Henry VIII alongside his daughter Princess Mary and William Somers, the court jester. The litho, created by an unknown European School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection. The image portrays Henry VIII, known for his larger-than-life personality and tumultuous reign as King of England during the Tudor period. Standing beside him is Princess Mary, his beloved daughter who would later become Queen Mary I. Completing this intriguing trio is William Somers, the jester whose role was to entertain and amuse the royal court. This lithograph originates from a picture found in Earl Spencer's Collection at Althorp House. It was used as an illustration for Mandell Creighton's book "Queen Elizabeth" published by Boussod Valadon in 1896. The composition evokes a sense of intrigue and curiosity about life within the Tudor court. The detailed depiction showcases their elaborate costumes and regal presence while capturing their individual personalities through subtle facial expressions. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to a time when power dynamics were shifting within Europe. This artwork serves as a reminder of the rich history that shaped our world today.
