EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary moment in history - Henry VII's first act of parliament, captured in the late 1480s. The initial portrait of the king takes center stage, radiating his regal presence and authority. Surrounding this magnificent depiction is a border illuminated with intricate depictions of flora and fauna, symbolizing the harmony between nature and governance. Henry VII, the inaugural Tudor monarch of England, ascended to the throne in 1485. This image captures him at a pivotal point in his reign when he enacted legislation that would shape the course of his kingdom. The manuscript from which this print originates is Thomas Pigot's Book of Statutes, housed within Oxford's esteemed Bodleian Library. The combination of medieval handwriting and vibrant colors adds depth to this visual masterpiece. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when politics intertwined with artistry. Birds play a prominent role within this composition, representing heraldry and coat-of-arms symbolism often associated with royalty. Their presence further emphasizes Henry VII's sovereignty over England during this transformative period. This print offers us a glimpse into the past - an era marked by political intrigue, cultural development, and royal power struggles.
