EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1169, witnessing a significant moment in history. The image depicts Henry II serving the first dish to his son, Young Henry, at a grand banquet following his coronation by the Archbishop of York. Standing proudly on the right is Thomas Becket, an influential figure during that time. The scene exudes an air of elegance and opulence as we observe the beautifully decorated interior with its ornate crockery and exquisite table setting. The engraving captures not only a family gathering but also showcases the power dynamics within medieval England's monarchy. Henry II, known as Henry Curtmantle or Henry Plantagenet, was King of England during this period. This image offers us a glimpse into his role as both father and monarch. His paternal love for Young Henry is evident as he personally serves him food from the first dish. This historic moment has been immortalized through Temple Sydney's book "A New and Complete History of England". The detailed illustration transports us back in time to witness this important event firsthand. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print, we can't help but marvel at how it encapsulates centuries-old traditions and customs while reminding us of our shared human experiences across generations.
