42 pages + 1 map/plan + 1 large folding plate. This 1782 article, published in Archaeologia, describes an ancient painting depicting King Henry VIII's embarkation at Dover Harbour on May 31, 1520. The event marked his departure aboard the Henry Grace a Dieu, one of the largest warships of its time, as he sailed to Calais for his historic meeting with King Francis I of France at the Field of Cloth of Gold. The painting captures the grandeur of Henry's fleet, with golden sails, gun salutes, and Dover Castle in the background. It was likely commissioned by Henry VIII to commemorate the lavish diplomatic summit, which was orchestrated by Cardinal Wolsey to strengthen ties between England and France. The painting's artistic proportions may have been exaggerated to emphasize the majesty of the English court. An authentic standalone article, extracted from a larger volume. Not a reprint or reproduction, but an original work in its own right. Preserved in a modern card cover, prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 25 x 30 cms. Category: Archaeologia; Printed before 1800; Special Interest. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK.
