EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts King Henry II of England presenting the papal bull of 1155, which granted him the authority to invade, govern, and rule Ireland. The image showcases a pivotal moment in history when Henry II sought to extend his dominion beyond England's borders. Dressed in regal robes that exude power and authority, King Henry stands tall as he presents the papal bull. His countenance reflects confidence and determination as he prepares to embark on this ambitious endeavor. The crown atop his head symbolizes his royal lineage and reinforces his claim to Irish sovereignty. Surrounded by courtiers and advisors, King Henry commands attention with his presence alone. This visual representation captures not only the historical significance of this event but also highlights the medieval concept of monarchy and its association with divine right. The artist Warren skillfully recreates this scene from Thomas Wright's "The History of Ireland" published by Tallis in 1854. Through digital cleaning techniques, the image has been restored to its original glory for contemporary viewers to appreciate. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in European history unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder of how political alliances, religious decrees, and personal ambitions shaped nations during the Middle Ages.
