EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time and witness history come alive with this print of the mock civil war battle that took place in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, in June 1980. The Sealed Knot, a renowned re-enactment group dedicated to preserving the past, meticulously recreated the Battle of Lostwithiel on fields just outside the town. Transporting us to the year 1644 during the English civil war, this photograph captures a momentous victory for King Charles I's Royalists. Amidst billowing smoke and thunderous cannon fire, soldiers armed with guns, swords, pikes, and flags fiercely engage in combat. Their unwavering dedication to historical accuracy is evident as they vividly bring this pivotal event back to life. The Sealed Knot derives its name from a clandestine association formed centuries ago with one purpose: restoring monarchy. This re-enactment group embodies their predecessors' spirit by faithfully recreating battles like these across England. Photographer Jonathan Barker skillfully captures not only the action but also the essence of Cornish pride within this image. The vibrant flag fluttering proudly against Cornwall's picturesque backdrop serves as a reminder of both regional identity and historical significance. This extraordinary print offers an immersive glimpse into our rich heritage while honoring those who fought bravely for their beliefs. It is a testament to how art can transport us through time and allow us to appreciate our shared past.
