EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title page from King Henry VIII's renowned work, "Defence of the Seven Sacraments" printed by Richard Pynson in 1521. The image is part of William Hickman Smith Aubrey's comprehensive publication, "The National and Domestic History of England" which was published in London around 1890. Henry VIII composed this religious thesis in 1518 as a staunch defense of Catholicism after being influenced by Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses, which marked the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Titled "Assertio Septem Sacramentorum" (Assertion of the Seven Sacraments), this book became an emblematic symbol of his opposition to Protestant beliefs. The lithograph captures not only the historical significance but also the artistic beauty present on this title page. With intricate illustrations and decorative borders, it exemplifies the craftsmanship prevalent during that era. Written entirely in Latin, this publication reflects both Henry VIII's intellectual prowess and his unwavering commitment to upholding Catholic traditions. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when religious ideologies clashed and shaped Europe for centuries to come. It serves as a reminder of Henry VIII's influential role as both monarch and theologian during one of England's most transformative periods.
