EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Haughty behaviour of Becket to Henry II" captures a powerful moment in history with remarkable detail and precision. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the intense interaction between Thomas Becket and King Henry II. The scene depicted here is from "The History of England from Julius Caesar to George the IVth" by M. A. Jones, published around 1926. It portrays Becket's haughty demeanor towards Henry II during a crucial period in British history. In this black and white illustration, we witness the tension between these two influential figures as they engage in a heated exchange. The engraver skillfully brings out their facial expressions and body language, conveying their conflicting emotions and strong personalities.
