1660s Restoration Return


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print captures the essence of the English military during the Restoration period, following the return of King Charles II in 1660. The image, dating from the 17th century, depicts a group of well-armed and disciplined soldiers, dressed in the distinctive uniforms of the time. The king, who had been in exile since his father's execution in 1649, had regained the throne after the Cromwellian conquest was reversed in the Second English Civil War. Charles II's restoration brought about a significant shift in the military landscape, with the monarchy reasserting its control over the armed forces. The soldiers in this print reflect the new order, with their smartly arranged ranks and well-maintained weapons. The regal bearing of the officers and the determined gaze of the rank and file soldiers convey a sense of pride and loyalty to their king and country. The historical significance of this period is palpable in the details of the print. The soldiers' uniforms, with their red coats, white waistcoats, and tricorn hats, are reminiscent of the style that would become synonymous with the English military in the centuries to come. The print also offers a glimpse into the daily life of a soldier during the Restoration period, with the men shown carrying a variety of weapons, including muskets, pikes, and swords. Overall, this print is a valuable historical document, offering a unique insight into the military culture of the Restoration period. It serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that the military played in shaping the political and social landscape of 17th-century England, and the enduring legacy of the Restoration monarchy.
