EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the regal presence of Henry I, a significant historical figure from the 12th century. Created by Charles Grignion in 1773, this engraving is based on an original work by Samuel Wale. Henry I, the fourth son of William the Conqueror, was known for his firm rule and effective governance. The portrait showcases Henry I in all his royal splendor. He stands tall with a direct gaze towards the camera, exuding confidence and authority. Dressed in elaborate robes and wearing a crown, he holds a sceptre in one hand while placing the other on his hip. The intricate details of his cloak and clothing highlight both its decorative nature and its symbolic significance as a representation of power. Displayed within an ornate frame, this portrait is featured in "A New and Complete History of England" by Temple Sydney. Published by J. Cooke in London during 1773, this book offers readers an authentic insight into English history up until that time. Grignion's skilled craftsmanship brings to life not only Henry I but also the era he ruled over. This image allows us to glimpse into the past and appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such engravings as well as their role in preserving historical figures for generations to come.
