- Description
- The title-page woodcut reinforces this connection between print, law, and monarchy. The enthroned ruler is presented as the source of justice and legal authority, linking statute law to dynastic power and political order. The printed statute book was therefore more than a practical legal reference: it was also a visible expression of Tudor governance and the expanding authority of the state.
