1954
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Henry VI is a 1954 by John Farleigh, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a tall, shadowy figure in armor holding a crown. Behind them, a green, leafy shape looks like a crown or maybe a plant. The figure’s face is dark, and the background is mostly white with jagged green lines. The handwritten note says "Henry VI part 3," which might mean this is one of several prints on the same theme. The artist used bold black lines and green accents to create strong contrasts. Look up John Farleigh to see more of his dramatic, graphic style.
A black print with a green overlay on a white sheet depicts a crowned figure in armor holding a scroll, positioned beside a pile of weapons. Horses are visible in the background. The work is titled *Henry VI* and was created by John Farleigh in 1954.
