England's Miraculous Preservation, 1646 (1903) - A Symbolic Tribute to the Ark of England
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a remarkable allegory known as "England's Miraculous Preservation" created in 1646 and beautifully depicted in this engraving from Sir Walter Besant's book, "London in the Time of the Stuarts". The artwork serves as a perpetual monument to posterity, symbolizing the resilience and preservation of England during turbulent times. At its center stands the majestic Ark of England, divided into three chambers representing the House of Lords, House of Commons, and the Assembly. Within these chambers are portraits that honor influential figures who played significant roles during this period. Among them are esteemed individuals such as Earl of Essex, Earl of Warwick, Earl of Manchester, General David Leslie, Sir Thomas Fairfax, and Oliver Cromwell – leaders whose actions shaped English history. The image evokes a sense of religious devotion intertwined with political significance. It reflects both unity and diversity within England's Christian heritage while highlighting military prowess amidst ongoing warfare. The concept behind this allegory is deeply rooted in preserving Britain's identity against external threats. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece captured by The Print Collector29 for Heritage Images' collection, we are transported back to the seventeenth century when statesmen like Robert Devereux (Earl of Essex) and Robert Rich (2nd Earl Warwick) emerged as key parliamentarians leading their troops fearlessly through tumultuous times. Let us marvel at this historical gem that immortalizes an era marked by struggle yet ultimately defines England's indomitable spirit throughout centuries past.
