210 Henry Shaw (1800–1873) – Henry VI and His Court – Hand-coloured Engraving (1843)
This richly colored historical scene depicts King Henry VI of England kneeling in prayer, surrounded by the noblemen of his court. The King is shown wearing a flowing mantle trimmed with ermine and a crowned cap, while his courtiers are dressed in heavy, brightly colored robes and high hats typical of the 15th century. This illustration is a faithful copy of a compartment from the celebrated late-Medieval tapestry housed in St. Mary’s Hall, Coventry, England. The print serves as a crucial document of English royal and aristocratic costume and piety during the Lancastrian period.
Henry Shaw was a British architect, draughtsman, and antiquarian illustrator known for his scrupulous dedication to reproducing historical and architectural details. His career focused on rescuing the visual history of the English past through imposing, richly illustrated books. Shaw pioneered various printing techniques, including the use of hand-coloring and chromolithography, to bring medieval art and decoration to life with exceptional accuracy and aesthetic quality.
