EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "King Charles II chasing a moth" captures a whimsical moment in history. Created by the American School in the 19th century, this print showcases King Charles II of England engaged in an amusing pursuit. Dressed in regal attire, the king is depicted swatting at a bothersome moth that has interrupted his dinner. The image provides insight into the fashion and customs of 17th-century Britain, with attention to detail evident in both the elaborate table setting and the elegant dress worn by a woman present at the scene. The annoyance on their faces emphasizes how even royalty can be irritated by pesky insects. With its digitally cleaned appearance, this engraving allows viewers to appreciate not only its historical significance but also its artistic quality. It serves as an illustration from Hezekiah Butterworth's "Young Folks History of Boston" published in 1881. As we observe this playful interaction between monarch and insect, we are reminded of the universal experience of irritation caused by unwelcome pests. This artwork offers us a glimpse into European history while showcasing British culture during Charles II's reign. Bridgeman Images presents this fine art print for our enjoyment, allowing us to delve into both historical moments and artistic expression simultaneously.
