EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating historical print created by an unknown artist in 1927, showcased through Mary Evans Prints Online under the rights managed category. This intriguing image transports us back in time to the tumultuous period of the English Civil War and the Commonwealth, specifically focusing on the enigmatic figure of Oliver Cromwell. The print depicts Cromwell, dressed in a somber black coat and holding a staff, standing before a table adorned with a large, ornate bauble or globe. The expression on his face is solemn and contemplative, as if deep in thought or deliberation. Surrounding the scene are shadows of various historical figures, hinting at the complex web of alliances and power struggles that defined this era. The title of the print, "What Cromwell Did with the Bauble," alludes to the intrigue and speculation that has long surrounded Cromwell's actions during his rule as Lord Protector of England. Some historians believe that the bauble in the print represents the 'Stone of Scone,' a sacred relic traditionally used in the coronation of Scottish monarchs, which was seized by Cromwell's forces in 1651. Others suggest that it may symbolize the power and authority that Cromwell wielded during his rule, or perhaps even the globe itself, representing his global ambitions. Regardless of the exact meaning behind the bauble, this evocative print invites us to explore the rich and complex history of this pivotal period in English history, shedding light on the enigmatic figure of Oliver Cromwell and the enduring mysteries of the past. With its intriguing composition and thought-provoking title, "Hushed-up History - III: What Cromwell Did with the Bauble" is a must-see for anyone with an interest in history, art, or the human story.
