EDITORS COMMENTS
This copperplate engraving, taken from Francis Grose's "Military Antiquities Respecting a History of the English Army," published by Stockdale in London in 1812, offers a fascinating glimpse into the royal encampment of the era of King Henry VIII. The image, which is based on the Cotton Collection and was produced under the patronage of Augustus II, showcases the grandeur and organization of the royal camp. At the heart of the encampment lies the royal quarters, where the king and his court would reside in luxurious tents adorned with rich fabrics and ornate furnishings. Surrounding the royal quarters is a bustling marketplace, where merchants and shopkeepers sell their wares to the soldiers and camp followers. The huts of these shopkeepers and butchers can be seen in the background, their smoke rising to mingle with the clouds above. The meticulous detail in this engraving is truly remarkable, from the intricate designs on the tents to the individual items for sale in the marketplace. It is a testament to the skill of the engraver and the painstaking research that went into creating this historical record. The royal encampment was a vital aspect of military life during the reign of King Henry VIII, providing not only shelter and sustenance for the army but also a sense of community and order. This engraving offers a unique perspective into this fascinating aspect of English military history, transporting us back in time to an era of grandeur and pageantry.
