EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print capturing the historical moment when King William III of England, also known as William of Orange, landed at Torbay in Devon. Painted by As Forrest and featured in the book "Our Island Story" by H E Marshall, this artwork offers a glimpse into a significant event in British history. The image showcases King William III on horseback, symbolizing his arrival as a hero and deliverer to the English people. The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring life to this 17th-century scene, transporting viewers back in time. As an illustration from "Our Island Story" it is important to note that the book presented a biased and pro-British perspective on history. However, this does not diminish the artistic value or historical significance of this particular piece. The composition highlights both the strength of King William III's character and his role in shaping Protestantism within Britain during the late 17th century. His arrival marked a turning point for England and set the stage for future developments within British society. This print serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and invites us to reflect upon key moments that have shaped our nation's identity. It stands as an homage to King William III's legacy while offering viewers an opportunity to delve into their own interpretations of heroism and deliverance throughout history.
