EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting King Henry VI alongside representatives of the Lords and Commons. Created in 1446, this illuminated charter showcases the king's grant of lands and privileges to benefit his College of St. Nicholas and Our Lady at Cambridge. The House of Lords members are portrayed fervently pleading for the foundation of Kings College, symbolizing their support for education and religious institutions. The image exudes an air of medieval grandeur, with its vibrant colors and regal figures. King Henry VI stands as a central figure, adorned in royal attire and wearing a crown that signifies his authority. Surrounding him are angels, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. This photograph not only offers insight into political dynamics but also highlights the importance placed on education during this period. It serves as a testament to England's rich social history and its commitment to nurturing intellectual growth. Preserved through time by unknown hands until it was featured in Martin Lindsay M. P. 's book "The House of Commons" published by Collins London in 1947, this print allows us to glimpse into the past—a window into fifteenth-century Britain where politics intertwined with religion, monarchy shaped society, and educational foundations were laid for future generations at prestigious institutions like Cambridge University's Kings College.
