EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases a model of the historic galleon, the Great Harry or Grace a Dieu, as it was displayed in the South Kensington Museum in 1865. The Great Harry, built in 1514, holds significant importance in maritime history as it was a part of King Henry VIII's formidable navy. This impressive galleon, with its distinctive curved sides and ornate decorations, was a testament to the advanced shipbuilding techniques of the time. The model, intricately detailed and meticulously crafted, provides a glimpse into the grandeur and majesty of the Great Harry. Its display in the South Kensington Museum, which later became the Victoria and Albert Museum, was a part of the institution's efforts to preserve and showcase the rich historical and cultural heritage of the United Kingdom. The Great Harry, also known as the Mary Rose of Henry VIII's fleet, was one of the largest and most powerful ships of its time. It was used primarily for state occasions and diplomatic missions, reflecting the political and military might of the Tudor monarchy. The ship met its end in 1545 during a storm in the English Channel, but its legacy lived on through models like this one, which continue to inspire awe and fascination among historians, maritime enthusiasts, and visitors to the museum. This engraving, produced in 1865, offers a unique and valuable perspective on the history of the Great Harry and the role it played in the maritime and political landscape of the late medieval and early modern periods. It serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of the sea and the ships that have sailed upon it, as well as the importance of preserving historical artifacts and records for future generations.
