EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic "Portrait of Philip II of Spain (1527-98) and Queen Mary I (1516-58)" engraved by Joseph Brown in 1812. The image, captured by George Perfect Harding, transports us back to a time of regal grandeur and historical significance. In this portrait, we witness the power couple seated upon an ornate throne, exuding authority and majesty. Philip II's stern countenance is complemented by his lavish doublet, symbolizing his status as King of Spain. Beside him sits Queen Mary I, known as Bloody Mary for her ruthless pursuit of restoring Catholicism in England during her reign. Her elegant gown reflects her royal lineage while also hinting at her devout Catholic beliefs. Adding a touch of warmth to the scene is their loyal canine companion nestled at their feet – a faithful pet who undoubtedly witnessed many private moments within these walls. The coat of arms prominently displayed behind them serves as a reminder of their shared heritage and political ambitions. It represents not only their union but also the merging powers between two influential nations. This remarkable engraving captures not just the physical likeness but also the essence of this formidable duo's rule over vast territories during one of history's most turbulent periods. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from our own era, it invites us to reflect on how power dynamics have shaped our world throughout centuries past.
