EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment, depicting Occleve presenting his book to Henry V in the year 1410. Created by artist Henry Shaw in 1843, this artwork showcases the poems of Thomas Hoccleve or Occleve, which are contained within the manuscript from which the drawing is derived. In this image, we see Henry V portrayed as Prince of Wales, adorned with a regal crown. The medieval setting is brought to life through intricate details such as fur and ermine clothing. Occleve kneels before the prince, offering his literary creation as a gesture of respect and admiration. The color palette chosen by Shaw adds depth and richness to this scene from England's history. It serves as a visual representation of an era when literature played a crucial role in shaping society. This portrait not only highlights two influential figures but also reflects on the arts and culture prevalent during that time period. Through its composition and attention to detail, it transports us back to the fifteenth century while simultaneously capturing elements of nineteenth-century artistic style. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power that literature holds in connecting people across centuries and how art can immortalize important moments for future generations to appreciate.
