‘The Embarkation of Henry VIII at Dover’ by Unknown Artist, ca. 1545
Henryyyyy where you going bro
I just found this series of books about the wives of Henry VIII, and I have to say I ADORE the covers.
Henry gets progressively older in each one, which is fantastic since most show him as old fat Henry all the time.
The wives all look quite decently accurate too, and are based on portraits done of them. I like that they each have their successors lurking in the background of their covers, like a reminder that they’re not going to be Queen for very long.
I wish more books would do illustrations like this nowadays, instead of using portraits or stock photos.
haha Henry creeping around on these covers is the best.
Henry! You total perv.
these antique Japanese dolls are beautiful.
