EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and comical print captures a delightful moment in the life of Henry VIII and his queen, Catherine of Aragon. Titled "Out-a-Maying" it depicts the royal couple participating in an archery competition amidst a lively outdoor setting. Created by John Leech in 1864, this hand-coloured etching showcases the artist's talent for combining historical accuracy with humorous caricature. The scene is filled with laughter and merriment as courtiers, pageboys, maidens, lords, ladies, children, and even Robin Hood himself join in on the fun. Dressed in their finest medieval attire – complete with green hoods reminiscent of Lincoln Green – they take aim at targets while accompanied by their loyal dogs. Henry VIII stands tall and proud as he prepares to release his arrow into the air. His queen exudes grace and femininity as she confidently takes her turn. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as each participant strives to outdo one another. This print not only provides a glimpse into the past but also offers a lighthearted perspective on Tudor history. It reminds us that even kings and queens enjoyed moments of leisure and revelry amidst their regal duties. With its vivid colours and playful details, this artwork from The Comic History of England brings joy to any viewer who appreciates both artistry and historical storytelling.
