EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the coronation of Henry IV, the first Lancastrian king of England. Born as Henry Bolingbroke in Lincolnshire, he was the son of John of Gaunt and rose to power after deposing King Richard II. The scene depicted here is his grand coronation at Westminster Abbey in 1399. The borders surrounding the image are adorned with intricate illuminations featuring foliage, flowers, and birds. In this vibrant setting, men can be seen playing musical instruments, adding an enchanting melody to this royal event. This photograph not only showcases the regal ceremony but also provides a glimpse into medieval decorative arts and religious practices during that era. The manuscript-like quality adds to its historical charm, transporting us back to 14th-century London. King Henry IV's reign marked an important chapter in English history as he established the Lancastrian dynasty on the throne. His rule brought about significant political changes and set England on a path towards stability and prosperity. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by King Henry IV himself (created by Unknown), we are reminded of his enduring legacy as a monarch who shaped England's destiny. It serves as a testament to his power, influence, and contribution to both art and politics during the Middle Ages.
