EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the historical moment when Henry II, the renowned ruler of Great Britain, arrived at Waterford, Ireland on 18 October 1172. Immortalized by James William Edmund Doyle in his remarkable work "A Chronicle of England BC 55 to AD 1485" this vivid color lithograph captures the essence of a significant era. The image showcases a magnificent scene filled with symbolism and grandeur. A fleet of majestic ships dominates the foreground, their flags proudly fluttering in the wind as they dock near an imposing castle. The presence of these vessels signifies Henry II's arrival and his authority over both land and sea. Intriguingly, a crowd has gathered along the shoreline to witness this historic event. Men cheer enthusiastically while soldiers stand tall and proud beside their monarch. Towering above them all is King Henry himself, exuding power and regality as he surveys his newly acquired territory. The composition also offers glimpses into everyday life during medieval times. Dwellings can be seen dotting the landscape surrounding Waterford Castle, providing insight into how people lived during this period. Overall, this print serves as a visual gateway into history—a testament to both Henry II's reign and James William Edmund Doyle's artistic talent. It allows us to appreciate not only the significance of this particular moment but also gain deeper understanding about life in medieval England and Ireland.
