EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Ms 1335 f. 1 Margaret of York is introduced to her future husband, Charles the Bold, on the 27th of June, 1468 at Damme. The vellum artwork was created by an anonymous French School artist during the 15th century and is currently housed in Bibliotheque Municipale, Reims, France. Margaret of York (1446-1503), Duchess of Burgundy and sister of Edward IV of England, stands poised and elegant as she meets her betrothed. This union between two powerful figures would shape the course of European politics for years to come. The scene depicted here is richly adorned with sumptuous details that reflect the opulence and grandeur surrounding this royal event. Mercenaries stand guard while attendants dressed in black meticulously tend to every detail. Ladies-in-waiting and courtiers add a touch of grace and sophistication to the occasion. Commissioned by Charles the Bold around 1468, this manuscript showcases not only his wealth but also his appreciation for artistry. The exquisite decoration further enhances its historical significance. The image transports us back in time to witness this pivotal moment when two influential individuals join forces through marriage. It serves as a reminder that behind every political alliance lies personal stories filled with love, ambition, power struggles, and dynastic aspirations.
