1. Title: "James I of England and James VI of Scotland: A Monarch Uniting Two Crowns, Holding the Great Seal" This evocative image captures the regal presence of King James I of England and James VI of Scotland as he holds the Great Seal, symbolizing his dual role as monarch of both England and Scotland. Dated between 1566 and 1625, this historical print offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British monarchy. James, born in 1566, ascended to the English throne in 1603 following the death of Queen Elizabeth I. Simultaneously, he had been the King of Scotland since 1567, following the abdication of his mother, Mary, Queen of Scots. The union of the two crowns marked the beginning of the British monarchy, a significant moment in the history of these islands. The Great Seal, a symbol of the monarch's authority, is held in James's right hand, emphasizing his sovereignty. The intricately designed seal, adorned with the royal arms of England and Scotland, reflects the political complexity of the time. The image underscores the importance of the monarchy in maintaining the balance of power and unity within the realm. James I's reign was marked by efforts to consolidate power and promote religious unity, most notably through the issuance of the "King James Bible" in 1611. His rule also saw the establishment of the first permanent English settlement in America at Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a fascinating window into the life and times of a monarch who played a pivotal role in shaping the history of England and Scotland.
