The Tudor period, which spanned from the late 15th century to the early 17th century, holds a significant place in English history. Shrewsbury, England, in the 1500s was a bustling town that witnessed the rise and fall of powerful dynasties. The Houses of York and Lancaster were at odds during this time, their bitter rivalry eventually leading to their union under Henry VII. The genealogy of these kings can be traced back to Edward III, with their heraldic symbols proudly displayed on coloured engravings. Art also flourished during this era, capturing the essence of influential figures such as Catherine Parr and Queen Elizabeth I. In an oil painting from 1545, Catherine Parr's regal presence is depicted on a wooden panel. Meanwhile, 'The Ditchley portrait' showcases Queen Elizabeth I's majestic aura in vibrant oil on canvas. Religion played a crucial role as well; Archbishop Thomas Cranmer left his mark by shaping religious reforms within the Church of England. The Gatehouse at West Stow Hall in Suffolk stands as a lithographic testament to this period's architectural grandeur. However, not all aspects were strictly serious or somber. A colour lithograph titled 'The Sabbath Breakers' humorously portrays two men caught playing golf on Sunday - traditionally considered a day for rest and worship. Maps became more detailed during this time too; an engraving displaying Norwich in Norfolk gives us insight into how cities were structured centuries ago. Equestrian pursuits held great importance among royalty; Queen Elizabeth I herself had her own horse immortalized through lithography. In another colourful lithograph from Deptford in 1581, we witness Queen Elizabeth I knighting Sir Francis Drake aboard his famous ship - the Golden Hind - symbolizing her support for exploration and maritime endeavors. A coloured engraving titled 'Kings and Queens of England' serves as both historical documentation and a visual feast, showcasing the lineage of rulers who governed during this period.
