EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph transports us back in time to the 15th and 16th centuries, offering a glimpse into the life of Nicholas Vaux, an influential figure in Tudor England. The print is a reproduction from "A Catalogue of the Royal and Noble Authors" originally published in 1806. Nicholas Vaux, depicted here with his distinguished beard and stylish hat, was not only an English soldier but also a prominent courtier. As the first Baron Vaux of Harrowden, he held significant political influence during this era. The artist George Virtue skillfully captures Vaux's essence through a drawing inspired by Holbein's original work. This portrait exudes power and authority while revealing hints of the subject's personality. Displayed against a plain background, every detail comes to life - from the intricate lines etched on his face to the meticulous rendering of his attire. It is as if we are standing before him ourselves, witnessing history unfold before our eyes. This print serves as both a historical document and an artistic masterpiece. Preserved within private collections for generations, it now allows us to appreciate Vaux's contribution to society during one of England's most transformative periods. As we admire this remarkable image today, let us remember Nicholas Vaux for his lasting impact as both a politician and an integral part of Tudor England's rich tapestry.
