EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Henry VIII embarking at Dover on May 31st, 1520. Published by The Royal Society of Antiquities and beautifully lithographed by Samuel Hieronymous Grimm, this large print showcases the grandeur and significance of the event. The image depicts a scene filled with anticipation as King Henry VIII prepares to meet French king Francis I at the Field of the Cloth of Gold. The mighty galleon, known as Great Harry, stands tall in all its glory, ready to carry England's ruler across the channel. Surrounding it are smaller boats and rowing boats bustling with activity as soldiers and naval forces ensure a safe departure. Intricately detailed castles line the coastline, symbolizing power and protection for both nations involved in this diplomatic encounter. The engraving skillfully portrays every minute detail from Tudor architecture to soldiers standing guard along the shore. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, we are transported back to a time when kings ruled vast empires and diplomacy was conducted through extravagant displays of wealth and military might. This print serves as a testament to history's enduring fascination with Henry VIII—a larger-than-life figure who left an indelible mark on British history—and reminds us of his pivotal role in shaping Europe during one fateful meeting at Dover centuries ago.
