EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact - a letter from King Henry VIII to Cardinal Wolsey, dating back to 1518. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than King Henry VIII himself, adding an intriguing personal touch to the piece. The letter serves as a heartfelt expression of gratitude from the monarch to his trusted advisor, Cardinal Wolsey. In it, he commends the cardinal for his diligent efforts in handling affairs both at home and abroad. With matters now well-established, King Henry urges Wolsey to take some time for leisure and find comfort amidst his responsibilities. What makes this letter even more special is its concluding message from Queen Catherine herself, conveying warmth and friendship towards Cardinal Wolsey. This inclusion adds depth and humanity to the correspondence between these influential figures of Tudor England.
