EDITORS COMMENTS
This humorous aquatint print of King Henry VII captures the essence of his reign with a touch of satire. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, it was originally featured in Alfred Crowquill's Comic History of the Kings and Queens of England. The image depicts King Henry VII as a miserly monarch, emphasizing his obsession with money and wealth. The caricature-like portrayal adds to the comic effect, making this print both amusing and entertaining. It reflects the Victorian era's love for witty jokes and clever verse, combining them with historical figures to create a unique form of entertainment. While poking fun at royalty may seem audacious, this satirical piece is part of a long tradition that uses humor to comment on power dynamics within society. It offers viewers a lighthearted glimpse into King Henry VII's personality while shedding light on broader themes such as greed and extravagance among European monarchs. With its detailed depiction and clever composition, this aquatint print showcases not only English artistic talent but also highlights the influence of German culture in Europe during that time period. Its inclusion in private collections speaks to its enduring appeal among art enthusiasts who appreciate both history and humor. Overall, this artwork invites us to laugh along with its playful interpretation of King Henry VII's reign while reminding us that even kings are not exempt from being subjects for comedy.
