EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - King Charles II fleeing England in 1651. The engraving, published in 1660 by an anonymous English artist from the 17th century, showcases the dramatic escape of the king after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester. In this image, we see a ship anchored near the shore of Shoreham, Sussex as King Charles II makes his clandestine departure. The composition exudes tension and urgency as he navigates through treacherous waters to secure his exile. This artwork serves as a powerful reminder of the tumultuous times during the English Civil War. The historical significance of this event cannot be overstated; it marked a turning point for both King Charles II and England itself. His successful escape paved the way for his eventual restoration to power in 1660, ending years of political instability. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to that fateful day when hope mingled with fear on those shores. It is a testament to human resilience and determination in times of adversity. This print is part of a private collection but has been made available for public viewing thanks to www. bridgemanart. com. Let us cherish this glimpse into history and appreciate its artistic value while remembering the sacrifices made by those who fought for their beliefs during these turbulent times.
