EDITORS COMMENTS
Henry VIII's New Clock, Hampton Court (1540) This image transports us back to the 16th century and the opulent courtyard of Henry VIII's favored palace, Hampton Court, in Surrey, England. At the heart of this bustling scene, we find the newly installed timepiece, a magnificent gift to the monarch from the city of London. Henry VIII, the eighth Tudor king of England, is depicted in the foreground, dressed in his regal attire, with an air of satisfaction as he gazes upon the intricately designed clock. The clock, a symbol of the monarch's power and wealth, is a marvel of the era, featuring a large, ornate dial and a ladder-like structure, allowing the privileged few to peer into the inner workings of the mechanism. The clock tower, with its elegant arches and intricate carvings, serves as a backdrop to the scene. The courtyard is filled with a diverse crowd of people, including courtiers, townspeople, and craftsmen, all gathered to witness the unveiling of the new timepiece. The atmosphere is one of excitement and wonder, as the community comes together to celebrate this grand occasion. This evocative photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple act of keeping accurate time was a source of fascination and pride. The image is a testament to the grandeur and splendor of the Tudor era, as well as the enduring allure of the monarch and the role he played in shaping the history of England.
