EDITORS COMMENTS
The Henry Grace a Dieu, also known as Great Harry, was a magnificent English carrack of the 16th century. This stunning print captures the grandeur and power of this iconic ship that once sailed the seas under King Henry VIII's command. Built at Woolwich Dockyard from 1512 to 1514, the Henry Grace a Dieu stood tall as one of King Henry VIII's formidable fleet alongside the famous Mary Rose. Its full-rigged sails billow in the wind, symbolizing its strength and dominance on the open waters. The intricate engraving showcases every detail of this majestic vessel - from its towering masts to its crow's nest perched high above. The flags proudly flutter atop its masthead, representing England's naval supremacy during that era. This vintage cigarette card print is part of a series by John Player & Sons, offering glimpses into historical naval prints. It serves as a visual time capsule, transporting us back to an age when maritime warfare played a crucial role in shaping nations. As we admire this artwork today, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also recognize it as an important artifact depicting Tudor history and naval warfare. The unknown creator has immortalized Great Harry for generations to come through their skillful illustration and attention to detail.
