EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in British history - Cromwell dissolving the Long Parliament in 1653. The image, taken from Hutchinson's Story of the British Nation published around 1923, showcases an illustration by an anonymous English artist from the 19th century. In this scene, we witness Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658), the renowned military and political leader, taking decisive action. Standing tall amidst a group of guards armed with pikes, he confronts members of parliament inside the Houses of Parliament. The tension is palpable as soldiers surround the parliamentarians who are visibly shocked by their presence. The composition beautifully portrays Cromwell as both powerful and determined. As Lord Protector, he firmly grasps his authority to remove those whom he deemed unfit for governance. In his hand rests the symbolic mace - a representation of parliamentary power that now lies discarded on the floor. This engraving offers us a glimpse into one of England's most turbulent periods - the English Civil War. It highlights not only Cromwell's role but also underscores how deeply divided society was during this time. Through its intricate details and expert craftsmanship, this lithograph invites us to reflect on historical events that shaped our nation's destiny. As part of The Stapleton Collection housed in a private collection today, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to our rich heritage and reminds us of how past struggles continue to shape our present reality.
