EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant postcard print captures a historic moment in English history - Cardinal Wolsey receiving King Henry VIII at Oxford in 1518. The scene is brought to life through the skillful use of color lithography by artist Howard Davie, who was active during the early 20th century. The image showcases the grandeur and opulence of the era, with both Cardinal Wolsey and King Henry VIII adorned in elaborate costumes befitting their status. The cardinal's regal red robes contrast beautifully against the king's richly embroidered attire, emphasizing their power and authority. Set against the backdrop of Oxford University, one of England's oldest and most prestigious institutions, this meeting between two influential figures holds great significance. It symbolizes a pivotal moment in British history when King Henry VIII sought guidance from his trusted advisor, Cardinal Wolsey. The postcard itself dates back to the 1950s, adding an interesting layer of nostalgia to this historical depiction. Its inclusion within a private collection further highlights its value as a cherished piece of art that has stood the test of time. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a bygone era filled with intrigue and political maneuvering. It serves as a reminder of how art can immortalize significant moments in history for generations to come.
