EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Henry II, a formidable ruler who reigned over England from 1154 to 1189. Also known as Henry Curtmantle, Henry FitzEmpress, or Henry Plantagenet, he was an energetic and at times ruthless monarch. His unwavering determination to reform the Church's relationship led to a bitter conflict with his once-close friend Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The image captures the essence of this influential figure in British history. With regal poise and a commanding presence, King Henry II stands confidently before us. The intricate details of his royal attire and crown highlight his status as a sovereign leader. Set against a monochrome background with decorative borders reminiscent of the eighteenth century, this portrait exudes both power and elegance. The coat of arms displayed proudly beside him symbolizes his authority and heritage. Published in George Frederick Raymond's A New Universal and Impartial History of England in 1787 by J. Cooke in London, this print offers viewers an intimate glimpse into one of Britain's most significant rulers from the twelfth century. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured in imagery, we are reminded not only of King Henry II's reign but also his lasting impact on religion, politics, and society during that era.
