EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment when King Henry VI of England and Margaret of Anjou were united in marriage at Titchfield Abbey on 23 April 1445. The image, a handcoloured steel engraving after an illustration by John Leech, showcases the comical side of this significant event from Gilbert Abbott A Beckett's Comic History of England. At just 24 years old, King Henry VI is depicted as a somewhat eccentric figure, earning him the moniker "the mad king". Standing beside him is his young bride Margaret of Anjou, who was only 15 at the time. The ceremony is solemnly officiated by a bishop while surrounded by maids in hennin headpieces and courtiers adorned in regal attire. Adding to the whimsy are additional characters present during this joyous occasion. A falconer holds his majestic bird with pride, a jester entertains with jests and laughter fills the air. Even a page stands close by, clutching a dagger for reasons unknown. The scene exudes both historical significance and lighthearted humor. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but immortalized through caricatured illustrations like these. This particular print beautifully combines elements of history and comedy to create an engaging piece that transports viewers back to this memorable day in English royal history.
