EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant historical artifact - a letter from Queen Mary I to Lord Seymour of Sudeley, dated 4th June 1547. The artist behind this remarkable piece is none other than Queen Mary I herself, adding an intriguing personal touch to the correspondence. The letter was written by Mary I before her accession to the throne and addresses Lord Seymour's request for assistance in his marriage proposal to Catherine Parr, the widowed queen of Henry VIII. As Lord High Admiral and uncle of Edward VI, as well as brother to the Duke of Somerset, Lord Seymour held considerable influence during this turbulent Tudor period. Displayed in vibrant color, this facsimile captures not only the content but also the intricate handwriting and signature of Queen Mary I. It offers us a glimpse into the royal correspondence that shaped political alliances and marital unions in sixteenth-century England. Within this image lies a rich tapestry of history - from King Henry VIII's reign to Queen Mary I's infamous nickname "Bloody Mary". It also highlights key figures such as Catherine Parr, Thomas Seymour (Baron of Sudeley), and their roles within English royalty. As we delve into this visual treasure trove curated by The Print Collector, we are reminded once again of how art can transport us back in time, allowing us to witness pivotal moments that have shaped our world today.
