EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the determination and resolve of English soldiers in the late 17th century as they prepare to march against an expected French invasion, in support of the ousted King James II. Dated around 1690, the image depicts William III's army, dressed in the distinctive red coats and tricorn hats, setting off on their campaign. The soldiers, with their muskets at the ready, exhibit a sense of unity and purpose as they face the impending threat from their European rivals. The historical context of this print is significant, as it marks a pivotal moment in English history. James II had been ousted from the throne in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, and the prospect of a French invasion under King Louis XIV loomed large. William III, a Dutch prince, came to the rescue, leading his army to repel the invading forces and secure the English crown. The military tactics and uniforms depicted in this print offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the organization and logistics of the English army during this period. The soldiers' disciplined formation and the use of muskets, which were becoming increasingly common on the battlefield, demonstrate the professionalization of military forces during the late 17th century. This print is a testament to the enduring power of historical imagery, offering a captivating and evocative representation of a pivotal moment in English history. The image invites us to reflect on the complexities of the past and the ongoing relevance of military history in shaping our understanding of the world around us.
