EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a portrait of Edward VI, the 16th-century king who ascended to the throne at just nine years old. The image is a reproduction of Hans Holbein's original painting, showcasing Edward wearing a hat similar to his father Henry VIII's, adorned with a feather encircling its brim. His hair is neatly cropped, and the partlet around his neck is clearly visible. The photograph belongs to "British Costume during 19 Centuries" an illustrated book by Mrs Charles H Ashdown published in London in 1910. It provides us with a glimpse into the fashion and style of England during that era. Edward VI appears as an adolescent monarch, exuding both regality and youthfulness. This portrayal highlights his status as royalty while also emphasizing his tender age at the time he assumed power. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and character to this historical image, transporting viewers back to the sixteenth century. The print collector responsible for preserving this piece remains unknown but has undoubtedly contributed greatly to our understanding of British history. Overall, this print immortalizes King Edward VI's likeness and serves as a testament to the artistic talent of Hans Holbein the Younger. It stands as an important artifact from that period in English history when monarchy was intertwined with adolescence on such grand scales.
