EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enigmatic figure of Mary I, Queen of England and Ireland from 1553 until her death in 1558. Created in 1830 by an unknown artist, this portrait showcases Mary's regal presence and intricate headdress adorned with jewels. Known as "Bloody Mary" she is best remembered for her relentless efforts to reverse the English Reformation. During her reign, over 280 religious dissenters were burned at the stake as part of the Marian persecutions. This engraving was featured in Alfred Howard's "Biographical Illustrations" a historical book published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin and Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin. The image transports us back to a tumultuous time when religion played a central role in shaping political landscapes. Mary Tudor's staunch Catholicism clashed with Protestant ideals that had gained ground during her father Henry VIII's reign. Despite controversy surrounding her rule, this portrait offers a glimpse into the complexity of Mary I as both monarch and woman living within a patriarchal society. It serves as a reminder of the power struggles that defined British history during the 16th century. This photograph print not only preserves an important historical moment but also invites contemplation on themes such as religion, persecution, monarchy, and gender dynamics that continue to resonate today.
