EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph, titled "Flight of the five members, from Cassells History of the British People" transports us back to a significant moment in English history. Published by the Waverley Book Company Limited around 1940, this print showcases an engraving by J Seymour Lucas (1849-1923) that depicts a dramatic scene from Parliament during the reign of Charles I. Intriguingly captured are five members making their daring escape amidst an atmosphere charged with tension and uncertainty. The costumes worn by these individuals add an air of secrecy and intrigue to their flight. This historical event is known as the "exclusion" or "flight" of the five members. This artwork serves as a visual portal into England's past, shedding light on a pivotal period when power struggles between monarchy and parliament were at their peak. It offers viewers a glimpse into one chapter of English history that shaped its political landscape for centuries to come. Displayed within this private collection, this lithograph reminds us not only of our rich heritage but also highlights how art can be used as a medium to preserve and share historical moments with future generations. As we gaze upon this piece, we are reminded once again that history is not just confined within textbooks; it lives on through art like this remarkable engraving by Lucas.
