EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry VI, the King of England from 1422 to 1461 and again from 1470 to 1471. The image captures a moment in history when great expectations were placed upon this young monarch, as he was the only child and heir of King Henry V. Henry VI's reign was marked by political turmoil and conflict known as the Wars of the Roses. Despite his noble lineage, he faced challenges throughout his rule, including a regency until 1437 due to his young age at ascension. This portrait reflects both the grandeur and vulnerability that characterized Henry's life. The photograph is part of a series called "Kings & Queens of England - A Series of 50" produced by John Player & Sons in London in 1935. It provides viewers with a glimpse into British history during both the fifteenth century and twentieth century. In this striking color print, Henry VI is depicted wearing traditional medieval attire: an elaborate hat adorns his head while richly embroidered clothing drapes over him. His gaze looks away pensively, perhaps hinting at the weighty responsibilities that burdened him as king. As we admire this royal portrait captured on a cigarette card, let us reflect on how historical figures like Henry VI shaped nations and left lasting legacies for future generations to explore and appreciate.
