EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting King Henry V of England courting Katherine, the daughter of the French king. The scene is taken from Act V, Scene II of William Shakespeare's renowned historical drama, "King Henry V" written in 1599. Illustrated by Robert Dudley, an active artist during the late 19th century, this print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. Published between 1856 and 1858 for the play's publication, it beautifully brings to life this significant event. Henry V married Catherine of Valois in 1420 after successfully concluding the perpetual peace treaty known as the Treaty of Troyes. This union marked a turning point in English-French relations and sought to solidify peace between these two nations that had long been embroiled in war. The image portrays Henry V as he passionately courts Katherine, highlighting their blossoming romance against a backdrop that exudes regality and elegance. It serves as a testament to both Shakespeare's literary genius and Dudley's artistic prowess. This historic illustration not only offers insight into British royalty but also provides a glimpse into the world of theater during Shakespearean times. Its rich colors and intricate details make it an invaluable piece for literature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
