EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The history of the Battle of Worcester, published 1660". Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 17th century, this engraving captures a significant moment in history - the Royalist defeat for Charles II during the English Civil War. The focal point of this artwork is Charles II himself, depicted hiding within an oak tree in Boscobel. This iconic image symbolizes his desperate attempt to evade capture after his defeat. The intensity and drama are palpable as we witness him fleeing from his enemies on September 3rd, 1651. The composition also includes elements that emphasize Charles II's escape. We see Mrs. Lane assisting him on their journey towards freedom, making their way to Shoreham's coast where a boat awaits them. This historic event marked a turning point for Charles II as he was forced into exile due to political circumstances. This page from a broadsheet not only commemorates an important battle but also tells a story of resilience and survival against all odds. It serves as a reminder of the tumultuous times during which it was created and allows us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs. As we observe this remarkable piece of art, we are transported back in time, gaining insight into one chapter of England's rich history through the eyes of its talented creator.
