GENERAL INFORMATION.  Baston began the design of his Shakespearean series with three pairs in 1947.  Henry and Anne are portrayed from The Famous History of the Life of Henry VIII (1613).  Henry, who has met Anne, becomes concerned with the legal aspects of his marriage to Katherine of Aragon.  Through Wolsey, he negotiates wit the Pope for a divorce.  But when Wolsey discovers that the King plans to marry Anne, he tries to stop the divorce, is found out, and, while under arrest for treason, dies.  Henry's marriage is annulled by the Archbishop of Canterbury and he marries Anne.

From Dr. Glenn Johnson's book, The Sebastian Miniature Collection.
