EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the historic moment of Queen Henrietta Maria's arrival at the Tower of London in 1625 (c1638 (?)). As the youngest daughter of Henry IV of France and Marie de Medici, Henrietta Maria de Bourbon embarked on a new chapter in her life when she married King Charles I of England. The illustration showcases an array of beacons lit on the Tower of London and nearby church towers, symbolizing the grand celebration that marked her entrance into London. This image transports us back to a bygone era, where we witness boats gracefully gliding along the River Thames towards the majestic tower. The fortification stands tall against its backdrop, exuding strength and power as it welcomes its new queen. The scene is filled with anticipation and excitement as people gather along the riverbank to catch a glimpse of their beloved monarch. Queen Henrietta Maria's significance as both a French princess and English queen is evident in this photograph. Her presence not only solidified political alliances but also brought together two nations through marriage. This engraving serves as a testament to her role as Queen Consort, showcasing her regal stature amidst an enchanting landscape. Preserved by Guildhall Library and Art Gallery, this monochrome image allows us to appreciate historical landmarks while immersing ourselves in centuries-old celebrations. It reminds us that even today, these iconic structures continue to stand strong, bearing witness to countless stories from our past.
