EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous and lively print captures the iconic moment of King Henry V's embarkation at Southampton. Created by John Leech, this illustration is part of "The Comic History of England" a satirical depiction of historical events. Leech's talent for caricature shines through as he portrays the king and his entourage with exaggerated features and comical expressions. The scene is filled with ships, symbolizing the impending invasion of France during the Battle of Agincourt. Despite the gravity of the situation, Leech injects humor into every detail, making it an amusing portrayal rather than a solemn one. The artist cleverly incorporates jokes and witty references to add another layer to this historical commentary. As we delve into history through this print, we are reminded that even in times of war, there is room for laughter and levity. This artwork not only provides entertainment but also offers insight into how people viewed significant events in their own time. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print transports us back to a pivotal moment in European history—the Hundred Years War between England and France. It serves as a reminder that art can be both educational and entertaining while shedding light on our shared past. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder collection so that future generations can appreciate its humor, historical significance, and artistic brilliance without commercial use or mention thereof.
