Henry VIII reproving Bishop Gardiner who was come to seize Catherine Parr while conversing with him in the garden. A hand coloured engraving from Ashburton's History of England
London W. & J. Stratford 1793 Première édition. Un bel exemplaire de cette gravure, qui a été habilement colorée à la main. A l'origine pour l'Histoire de l'Angleterre d'Ashburton, elle est maintenant conservée sous passe partout. La plaque est en bon état, propre et légèrement assombrie. Le bord est légèrement rugueux à l'endroit où elle était reliée à l'origine dans le livre. La gravure mesure 23 cm x 39 cm. La monture mesure 33 cm x 45 cm. Catherine Parr était la sixième et dernière épouse du roi Henri VIII, connue pour son intelligence, ses sympathies protestantes et son influence à la cour. L'évêque Stephen Gardiner était un catholique conservateur de premier plan et une figure puissante de la cour d'Henri, souvent en désaccord avec la faction réformiste que Catherine Parr soutenait. Au cours des dernières années du règne d'Henri, les tensions religieuses étaient vives, les factions conservatrices et réformistes se disputant l'influence sur le roi et l'avenir de l'Église anglaise. La scène en question met en scène un épisode où l'évêque Gardiner, désireux d'arrêter Catherine Parr pour ses opinions réformistes (que certains considéraient comme hérétiques), s'approche d'Henri VIII alors qu'il s'entretient avec Catherine dans le jardin. L'objectif de Gardiner est d'arrêter la reine, probablement pour hérésie, dans le cadre d'une campagne plus large contre les sympathisants protestants à la cour. Henri VIII, cependant, réprimande Gardiner, protège Catherine Parr de l'arrestation et fait comprendre qu'il ne tolérerait pas de telles actions contre son épouse.
First edition. A lovely copy of this engraving, which has been skillfully hand coloured. Originally for Ashburton's History of England, it is now held beneath passe partout. The plate is in good, clean fractionally darkened condition. Slightly rough edge where originally bound into the book. Engraving is 23cm x 39cm. Mount is 33cm x 45cm. Catherine Parr was the sixth and final wife of King Henry VIII, known for her intelligence, Protestant sympathies, and influence at court. Bishop Stephen Gardiner was a leading conservative Catholic and a powerful figure in Henry's court, often at odds with the reformist faction that Catherine Parr supported. During the later years of Henry's reign, religious tensions ran high, with conservative and reformist factions vying for influence over the king and the future of the English church. The scene in question dramatises an episode where Bishop Gardiner, intent on arresting Catherine Parr for her reformist views (which some considered heretical), approaches Henry VIII while he is conversing with Catherine in the garden. Gardiner's aim was to seize the queen, likely on charges of heresy, as part of a broader campaign against Protestant sympathizers at court. Henry VIII, however, rebukes Gardiner, protecting Catherine Parr from arrest and making it clear that he would not tolerate such actions against his wife..

The first volume is in the very rare first printing (usually it is found in the second, revised edition from 1811). These nine volumes constitute the entire ""Tragic Works"", begun by the renowned Danish translator Peter Foersom, who finished the first four volumes and left part of the fifth in manuscript, when he died in 1817. After his death, P.F. Wulf continued the great task of translating Shakespeare's Tragic works into Danish, finishing the fifth volume and doing the last four on his own (1818-1825).The first four volumes contain:Julius Caesar" Hamlet King Lear Romeo and Juliet Richard II Henry IV Henry V. Of these, the following have been translated and printed before: Hamlet (1777), King Lear (1790-92), but the rest of them are in the first Danish translations, first printings.Volume five consists in Henry VI, and volumes six to nine: Henry VI (continued) Richard III Othello Coriolanus King John Henry VIII Cymbeline As You Like It. Of these, the following have been translated and printed before: Othello (1792), Cymbeline (1792), but the rest of them are in the first Danish translations, first printings.The present translations of Shakespeare's works are considered the most important in Danish literature and became the standard version of the works. The first edition of these translations are quite scarce, especially all nine volumes together, and with the first volume in the first issue.(PMM 122 - first edition).
Hours of Henry VIII : A Renaissance Masterpiece by Jean Poyet
USA, George Braziller and The Pierpont Morgan Library, 2001 Softcover, 196 pages, 28 x 21.5 cm, colour and black and white illustrations, English text. *fine condition. ISBN 9780807614853.
A product for the royal court of France, the Hours of Henry VIII, created around 1500 by Jean Poyet, is one of the most splendid Books of Hours from this period. This magnificently illustrated lay book of daily devotions and prayers contains fifty-five exquisitely hand-painted images all reproduced here together and in color for the first time. The previously little-known Poyet (active ca. 1483-1503) enjoyed the patronage of the courts of three French kings. Not only an illuminator of manuscripts of the highest quality, Poyet also created panel paintings, elaborate drawings, and designed theatrical spectacles, all in a style that links Fouquet to Poussin. Author Roger Wieck provides a thorough explanation of the importance both of this grand manuscript within its art historical context and of Poyet's artistic achievements, which fluidly merged the cool, late Gothic aesthetic of his native northern France with the avant-garde Renaissance style of northern Italy. All Poyet's known works are discussed and illustrated. Also detailed commentaries by William M. Voelkle and K. Michelle Hearne on each section of the Book of Hours, and an analysis of the fascinating history of the manuscript (tradition holds that it was once in the collection of Henry VIII, hence its name today)
Inventory of King Henry VIII: The Transcript I: The Transcript of the Inventory,
Turnhout, Brepols, 1998 Hardback, XXVIII+512 p., 230 x 280 mm. ISBN 9781872501895.
The Inventory is not only a catalogue of magnificence but also a key text for evaluating the successes and failures of the Tudor monarchy under Henry VIII, telling us what once existed, and enabling us to identify surviving objects. The Inventory is not only a catalogue of magnificence but also a key text for evaluating the successes and failures of the Tudor monarchy. Henry VIII had extravagant ideas of image and authority and loved his possessions, amongst which where over 2,000 pieces of tapestry, 2,028 items of gold and silver plate and 41 growns. Although he left the country with heavy debts and an empty exchequer, he was far from bankrupting the monarchy as some scholars have suggested. Indeed the Inventory allows us to calculate that at the time of his death the contents of his palaces and wardrobes were worth about ?300,000 and the military and naval stores a further ?300,000. Most of what the King owned has unfortunately since disappeared. Yet the Inventory tells us what once existed, enables us to identify surviving objects and also helps once belonged to hem. The transcription of the inventory is accompanied by a historical introduction, a glossary of technical terms, and an exhaustive Index which is a major tool of scholarship in its own right.

Inventory of King Henry VIII: Textiles and Dress,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2012 Hardback, XVII+366 p., 41 b/w ill. + 148 colour ill., 215 x 275 mm. ISBN 9781905375424.
The Inventory is not only a catalogue of magnificence but also a key text for evaluating the successes and failures of the Tudor monarchy under Henry VIII, telling us what once existed, and enabling us to identify surviving objects. This is the first of three volumes of commentary to be published, which will consist of twenty-four essays written by the leading experts on Tudor art and artefacts and which will discuss the principal categories recorded in the Inventory in their historical and archaeological context. Among the subjects covered in Volume II are the tapestry collection of Henry VIII, accounts of the tents and revels, which provided the settings and costumes for court entertainments, and the Great Wardrobe, which served as a warehouse for the King?s large and valuable stores of textiles, and a study of the vestments and textiles associated with royal worship. Altogether, the essays in this volume combine the histories of material culture, religion, politics and ceremony in a unique way that would not have been possible before the establishment of the Inventory Project twenty years ago. The essays are richly illustrated, with many of the plates in colour and where possible, images of surviving pieces have been included. Volume II will be followed by two further volumes, entitled Arms, Armour and Ordnance and Decorative Arts and Everyday Objects. Languages : English.
