HoLBENs PORTRAIT OF BABY KING HENRY vi, IS CLASSIC

of Henry VIII has made the face
and costume of that much married
monarch familiar to every one.
It is the baby princes portrait,
however, that has the greatest
charm.
It was no easy task for an artist
to paint this child, whom Henry re-
garded as the most wonderful crea-
ture ever born. But Holbein sue
ceeded in pleasing the king. Art in
England was at such low ebb that
Henry had been forced to call in
foreigner.
Unlike most German artists of
~ this period, Holbein combined
imagination and an innate grace,
a great feeling for physical beauty
with the German gifts of detailed
finish, fineness of line, delicacy Of
modelling, accuracy.
His portraits are so exact a re-
production of the subject as to sug-
gest their images in a mirror. Art
lists in those days had to do many
kinds of work. Holbein, whose
father also was an artist, designed
many woodcutS for books.
AS Henry's court painter, he had
to decorate the walls of the palaces,
design royal pageantS as well as
paint royal portraits. He loved best
to paint portraits and his paintings
are so distinctive that you can tell
them without even seeing his sig
nature.
Next week another little prince
will gsllop right onto this page on
his pony-Don Baltazar Carlos OF
Spain.
Velazquez. who painted his por-
trait, believed just the opposite to
Holbein. He achieved in a few
strokes instead of going into de-
tail.

and formality which surrounded
Edward the panied look in his
face as he grew older is not sur
prising.
Even at the time Holbein painted
his baby portrait the tiny prince
had his own household noble
lady housekeeper, nurse, cham
berlain, comptroller, almoner and
even rockers of the royal cradle!
Later on he had whipping boy
who, if Edward misbehaved, was
given a good laShing in his stead.
1t is fortunate for the whipping
boy that the prince was well be-
haved.
Edward was thoughtful. studious
and precocious. When he was 8
years old he wrote to Archbishop
Crammer in Latin. At he knew
four books of Cato by heart as well
as a great deal of the Bible.
He didn't have much fun and be-
fore he was 10 years old his father
died and he became king of Eng
land.
A BOUT the only playmate he
n enjoyed, if so serious a little
king could enjoy himself was his
beautiful young cousin, Lady Jane
Gray. When Edward made his will,
he passed over his sisters Mary and
Elizabeth and named Lady Jane
as his successor. Poor boy. he did
not know he was condemning her
to death. For the beautiful and tall
ented girl who did not want to be
queen reigned only ten days.
Then Mary. who became queen,
beheaded her. King Edward had
died short time before at the age
of IS in the seventh year of his
reign.
Holbein. who was born In Ger
many, became court painter to
Henry VIII IN 1882. His likeness

BY ALICE ROHE
Written for NEA Service

A FTER last weeks little girl with
N only the title of Innocence, We
have a prince who became king of
England at the age of 9.
Surely every American child has
either read Mark Twain's fascinat-
ing tale of The Prince and the
Pauper," or has seen the play made
from the book.
The story is of the poor boy who
so resembled the prince that he was
given royal honors while the real
heir with whom he had changed
clothes was thrown from the palace
to live among the most wretched of
his subjects.
The prince whose heart was
touched by the misery of his peo-
people is the baby of today'S pic
ture. He was the only son of King
Henry VIII of England and his sis
ter was no other than Queen Eliza
beth.
Edwards mother was Lady Jane
Seymour and Elizabeth's was Anne
Boleyn. Prince Edward had an
other sister, Mary, who had still an
other mother, Catharine of Aragon
Henry had six wives, two of whom
he divorced, thus causing the great
rift between England and Rome.
Two of them he beheaded, but Ed
wards mother died when she gave
her husband the greatest desire of
his life-a son.
=
EDWARD did not greatly resem-
Il BILE his arrogant, self-indulgent
father, who regarded his son and
heir with a sort of idolatry. Hol-
bein'S picture was painted when he
was only IS months old and does
not show the frail health which is
so marked in later pictures.
When you realize the restraint
