EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures the regal presence of King Henry VIII of England, as depicted in a rare cig card print from the Mary Evans Picture Library. Dated to the late 19th or early 20th century, this historical image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the Tudor era. Born on June 28, 1491, Henry VIII ascended to the throne in 1509 at the age of 17, following the death of his father, King Henry VII. Known for his six marriages and his role in the English Reformation, Henry VIII is one of the most famous monarchs in English history. In this portrait, the king is shown wearing the traditional attire of the time, including a richly embroidered robe and ermine-trimmed hat. The ermine fur, a symbol of royalty and power, adds to the majesty of the image. Henry VIII is also depicted wearing the Imperial State Crown, which was later used in the coronation of his successor, Queen Elizabeth I. The portrait's cig card format, a popular collectible item during the late 1800s and early 1900s, adds an intriguing layer to the historical significance of the image. Cig cards were often used as promotional items, given away with packs of cigarettes or as collectibles. This particular card, featuring a portrait of a historical figure, offers a unique blend of history and popular culture. Despite the passage of time, this portrait continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the rich history of England and the fascinating reign of King Henry VIII.
