EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Mary I of England (1516-1558), also known as Mary Tudor, in her regal splendor as the Queen of England and Ireland during the 16th century. The portrait, taken from the Historia Universal published in 1883, is a testament to the grandeur and majesty of the Tudor monarchy. Mary I ascended to the throne in 1553 following the death of her brother, Edward VI. Her reign was marked by her determined efforts to restore Catholicism to England after years of Protestant rule under her predecessors. Known as "Bloody Mary" due to her persecution of Protestants, she was a complex and enigmatic figure in English history. The image of Mary I in this engraving is striking, with her regal bearing and intricately adorned attire reflecting the power and wealth of the Tudor monarchy. The rich colors and fine details of the engraving serve to highlight the opulence and grandeur of the era, transporting us back to a time of great change and upheaval in the history of England and Ireland. As a monarch, Mary I faced numerous challenges, including religious strife, political intrigue, and the threat of foreign invasion. Yet, she remained steadfast in her convictions and ruled with a firm hand, leaving a lasting impact on the history of the United Kingdom. This portrait serves as a reminder of her reign and the complex legacy she left behind.
