EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that takes us back to the 17th century, specifically the year 1633-1701. The image captures a poignant moment in history when James II and VII, the Duke of York and King of England and Ireland, was exiled to France. As he bid farewell to his beloved homeland, a small group of English and Scottish gentlemen accompanied him into exile. In this illustration from "A Pictorial Record of Remarkable Events in The History of the World" published by James Sangster and Co. in c1910, we witness one member of this loyal group waving goodbye to England from atop a hillside. His horse stands beside him as they both gaze back at their homeland for what might be the last time. The scene is filled with emotion as we can almost feel the weight of departure hanging in the air. The man's face reflects determination mixed with sadness, symbolizing his commitment to stand by his king even if it means leaving everything behind. This remarkable artwork not only showcases historical significance but also highlights themes such as loyalty, sacrifice, and resilience. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, individuals have made great sacrifices for causes they believe in or people they admire. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece captured during the early 20th century by "The Print Collector" we are transported back centuries ago to witness an extraordinary moment frozen in time - an everlasting testament to human devotion amidst adversity.
