He combined artistic beauty and precision of technical execution with extraordinary truth to nature and power of interpretation of character." Holbein born in 1497 first "arrived in England in the 18th year of the reign of Henry VIII. Sir Thomas More was then Chancellor of the Exchequer and Warham. was Archbishop of Canterbury. Through them Holbein obtained easy access to the leading men of the court" painting portraits of Moore Warham and many others before returning home. He journeyed back to England in 1532 where by 1536 he was in service as "'the king's painter' and in that year he painted the new queen Jane Seymour." In 1539 as a New Year's gift to the king "he gave 'a table of the pictour of the prince's grace' possibly the portrait of the infant Edward VI at Hanover. His portrait of Anne of Cleves perhaps the one now in the Louvre was sufficiently attractive to decide the king in her favour" DNB. The majestic portraiture of Holbein who died in London in 1543 "remains unsurpassed for sureness and economy of statement penetration into character and a combined richness and purity of style" Waterhouse. At the end of the 18th century John Chamberlaine in the court of George III sought to bring together a work to pay tribute to Holbein's magnificent artistry. There had been previous unsuccessful attempts to publish the portraits in engraved reproductions such as a 1792 volume containing 33 plates of poor quality titled The Court of Henry the Eighth. Yet Chamberlain succeeded where others failed for as the king's Keeper of the Drawings he assembled in this Imitations of Original Drawings by Hans Holbein 84 splendid color stipple-engraved full-page portraits of Edward VI Anne Boleyn Thomas More Jane Seymour the Archbishop of Canterbury Anne of Cleves and other major figures of the age. "One of the most magnificent books that we have ever seen and whether we consider the genius of the painter or the talents of the engravers reflects high honor on the age and nation which produced it" London Monthly Review. Sir Walter Scott praised it as "a collection which at once satisfies the imagination and the understanding showing us. how the most distinguished of our ancestors looked moved and dressed and. how they thought acted lived and died" Allibone 1120. Color-inked on the plates these intricate stipple-engraved portraits comprise "inestimable examples of English color printing at its best" Joan Friedman. "This magnificent work is surely the finest early example of English color printing. The reduced reissue of 1812 reprinted in 1828 gives no idea of the book's quality" Ray English 19. "In every way a splendid book" Abbey Life 205. Initially issued serially in 14 parts from 1792-1800.
