EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a collection of mottoes used on banners during the English Civil War, which raged from 1641 to 1647. The anonymous creators of these devices and mottoes were officers aligned with Parliament. Each standard and banner displayed in this image represents a powerful symbol of political ideology and warfare during the turbulent times of the seventeenth century. The vibrant colors and intricate engravings on these flags highlight their significance as emblems of loyalty, strength, and unity. Birds feature prominently in many designs, representing freedom, resilience, and strategic prowess. These badges not only served as rallying points for troops but also conveyed potent messages to both allies and enemies. Displayed at Guildhall Library Art Gallery, this historical artifact provides a glimpse into an era marked by intense conflict between Parliamentarians and Royalists. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that symbols can have on shaping public opinion during times of war. As we admire this remarkable piece from our past, let us reflect upon the sacrifices made by those who fought under these banners for their beliefs. This print invites us to delve into the complexities of English history while appreciating the artistry behind these powerful symbols that once adorned battlefields across England.
