Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Lady Jane Grey ('The execution of Lady Jane Grey') NPG D36334

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Green, after Paul Delaroche

The combination of historical detail, startling realism and a carefully pitched sentimentality made Paul Delaroche's painting the sensation of the Paris Salon of 1834. The Art Journal text that accompanying this engraving commended the scene thus: 'no gaping spectators are introduced to disturb the solemnity of the awful scene wherein all present appear individually and collectively concerned - the victim, her attendants, the minister of consolation, and the executioner'.
