EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment in history - the descent of Henry VIII, King of England, onto the shores of Calais in 1544. The print is taken from "L'Histoire d'Angleterre, depuis les temps plus reculés" by Francois Guizot, published in 1877. In this scene, we witness the grandeur and power of Henry VIII as he arrives on a boat accompanied by his entourage. The image beautifully depicts the historical event with intricate details that transport us back to that era. Henry VIII's purpose for landing in Calais was to lead an expedition to besiege Boulogne. This military campaign was part of his larger ambition to expand English territories and assert dominance over France during the tumultuous period of European conflicts. The French School artist who created this engraving skillfully captures the essence of this historic moment through their meticulous attention to detail. From the expressions on Henry's face and those around him to the architectural features of Calais' coastline, every element adds depth and authenticity to this artwork. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it serves as a reminder not only of Henry VIII's reign but also as a testament to the enduring impact history has on our present lives.
