Gerard, symbolizes not only a union between two individuals but also a merging of nations. The image showcases an enchanting scene filled with elegance and grandeur. King Henry V exudes regal authority while Princess Catherine radiates grace and poise. Their union represents a strategic alliance aimed at bringing peace to their respective countries. The meticulous etching technique used by William Hamilton adds depth to the composition, emphasizing every intricate detail from the ornate attire worn by both bride and groom to the majestic surroundings that bear witness to this historic occasion.
