EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving from the 19th century transports us back to a momentous event in English history - the entry of King Henry II and his queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine, into the royal city of Winchester in 1154. The image captures the grandeur and significance of this occasion as the royal couple make their way towards London for Henry's coronation. Mounted on majestic horses, King Henry II and Queen Eleanor lead a magnificent procession through the medieval streets of Winchester. Their regal presence commands attention as they are surrounded by loyal subjects eagerly awaiting their arrival. The king's confident stance exudes power and authority, while Queen Eleanor radiates grace and elegance. The artist skillfully depicts every detail with precision - from the intricate engravings on their saddles to the ornate attire adorning both monarchs. This print serves as a visual testament to an era marked by opulence and grand displays of royalty. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we cannot help but be transported back in time to witness this extraordinary moment firsthand. It reminds us that even centuries later, these figures continue to captivate our imagination with their legacy that shaped England's future under Plantagenet rule.
