EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in English history - the dissolution of the monasteries under King Henry VIII. Depicted here is the dramatic scene where Henry had the monks evicted from their sacred abodes, as illustrated in A History of England by C. R. L. Fletcher and Rudyard Kipling, published in 1911. The image portrays an act of looting and eviction, showcasing the immense wealth that these monastic institutions possessed during Tudor England. The suppression acts led by Thomas Cromwell aimed to dissolve these religious houses between 1536 and 1541, resulting in a significant shift in power and resources. Henry Justice Ford's lithograph beautifully captures the somber atmosphere surrounding this historical event. It serves as a poignant reminder of how political ambitions can clash with religious devotion, forever altering the landscape of faith in sixteenth-century England. This engraving offers viewers a glimpse into this tumultuous period marked by social upheaval and religious reformations. It stands as a testament to both Henry VIII's desire for control over church lands and his quest for financial gain through confiscation. Preserved within private collections today, this print allows us to reflect on one of history's most transformative moments while appreciating Ford's artistic interpretation.
