EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases James II, the last Roman Catholic monarch to reign over England, Scotland, and Ireland. Captured in 1935 by renowned artist Willem Wissing, this portrait immortalizes King James II of England and VII of Scotland (1633-1701) during his reign from February 6th, 1685. The direct gaze of the king exudes a sense of authority and determination. Intriguingly depicted in vibrant color on a cigarette card produced by John Player & Sons in London, this image offers a glimpse into both the seventeenth century and twentieth-century Britain. It serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with British history. James II's significance lies not only in his royal titles but also in his religious affiliation. As a devout Roman Catholic ruler amidst an overwhelmingly Protestant population, he faced numerous challenges throughout his reign. His story is one of political turmoil and religious conflict that shaped the course of British history. The unknown artist behind this remarkable painting skillfully captures every detail of James II's regal appearance - from his majestic crown to his dignified expression. This portrait stands as a tribute to an influential figure who left an indelible mark on the monarchy. As we admire this print today, it allows us to reflect upon the complex tapestry woven by past kings and queens while appreciating their lasting impact on our present society.
