EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Arrest of Alice Lisle for sheltering fugitives from the Battle of Sedgemoor, 1685" takes us back to a significant moment in British history. Created in 1886 by artist Charles Lawrie, this illustration beautifully captures the intensity and drama surrounding Lady Alice Lisle's arrest. Set indoors, we witness a group of men brandishing swords as they confront Lady Alice. The threatening atmosphere is palpable as she pleads for mercy while being ignored by her captors. This scene represents the aftermath of the Battle of Sedgemoor in 1685, where Lady Alice had provided refuge to fugitives seeking shelter. Lawrie's monochrome depiction adds depth and emotion to this historic event. The intricate details showcase the weaponry used during that period and transport us back to seventeenth-century Britain. Through this arresting image, we are reminded of the turmoil and violence that characterized this era. The print was originally featured in Thomas Archer's "Illustration of English and Scottish History". Volume I published by Blackie & Son Ltd. , London, Glasgow, and Edinburgh in 1886. It pays homage to Edgar Melville Ward (1839-1915), whose work inspired Lawrie's creation. As we gaze upon this powerful engraving today, it serves as a reminder not only of Lady Alice Lisle's plight but also highlights the resilience and courage exhibited by women throughout history who have defied societal norms to protect others during times of conflict.
