EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in time - "The Maids of Taunton Kneeling before the Duke of Monmouth, 18th June 1685". The image showcases a significant event during Monmouth's Rebellion, as depicted on a Queen of Diamonds playing card from a commemorative set. In this scene, we witness the unwavering support and loyalty of the brave women from Somerset who kneel before the charismatic Duke. Their colorful attire symbolizes their allegiance to his cause, presenting him with their vibrant colors as an act of solidarity. James Scott, also known as James II, is at the center of this powerful composition. His presence commands attention and reflects the turbulent political climate during that era. This engraving by an unknown English artist from the 17th century beautifully encapsulates both historical significance and artistic finesse. Displayed in private collections today, this photograph brings to life an important chapter in British history. It serves as a reminder of past rebellions and uprisings that have shaped our society today.
