EDITORS COMMENTS
This nineteenth-century engraving captures a pivotal moment in history - the union of two powerful nations through marriage. In this print, we witness the solemn exchange between Henry V of England and Catherine, daughter of Charles VI of France. The Treaty of Troye, signed in 1420, dictated that Henry would take Catherine's hand in matrimony. The illustration showcases the regal figures standing side by side. On the left stands Catherine, radiating elegance and grace as she extends her delicate hand towards Henry. The English king, portrayed with an air of authority and determination, accepts her gesture with reverence. Their union symbolizes not only a personal connection but also a strategic alliance between their respective countries. The artist skillfully captures the intricate details of their attire; every fold and embellishment is meticulously rendered to convey opulence and grandeur. The composition itself exudes harmony and balance through its symmetrical arrangement. Through this image, we are transported back to a time when political alliances were forged through matrimonial bonds rather than warfare alone. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and rivalry, love can be found as a catalyst for peace. Ken Welsh's masterful engraving immortalizes this historic event while evoking curiosity about the lives intertwined within it. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are invited to ponder the significance of such unions on both personal relationships and international diplomacy alike.
