EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the regal presence of Catherine of Aragon, the first wife of King Henry VIII. The print showcases two young boys hoisting a portrait of the esteemed queen, emphasizing her significance in English history. Adorned in an elegant English hood or gable hood headdress, Catherine exudes grace and poise. The intricate copperplate engraving by Cornelis Vermeulen after Adriaen van der Werff is a testament to the skillful artistry of its time. It was featured in Isaac de Larrey's Histoire d'Angleterre, d'Ecosse et d'Irlande, published in Rotterdam in 1713. Catherine's profile is beautifully captured within an oval frame surrounded by delicate foliage. Her royal status as Queen of England shines through as she gazes serenely into the distance. As one person dominates this composition, it highlights Catherine's individual strength and resilience during a tumultuous period in European history. She played a significant role not only as Henry VIII's wife but also as a historical figure who left an indelible mark on British society. This enchanting print transports us back to the 18th century when Europe was captivated by stories of royalty and power struggles. It serves as a reminder of Catherine's enduring legacy and her place within the annals of European history.
