EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a set of anti-Catholic playing cards that were created to commemorate the Glorious Revolution of 1688. The image, captured by an anonymous English artist from the 17th century, depicts a heart suit card with intricate engravings. The playing cards served as powerful propaganda during a time when tensions between Catholics and Protestants ran high. They aimed to satirize and vilify Catholic priests, monks, and religious orders in an effort to support the uprising led by William of Orange against King James II. In this particular card, we see Lord Lieutenant Tyrconnell of Ireland depicted in disguise as a priest or papist attempting to escape. This clever portrayal reflects the fear and suspicion surrounding Catholics at that time. The Glorious Revolution marked a significant turning point in British history as it resulted in the overthrowing of James II and established Protestantism as the dominant religion in England. These playing cards played their part in shaping public opinion through satire and mockery. This intriguing print not only captures historical context but also serves as a reminder of how art has been used throughout history for political purposes. It offers us insight into the power dynamics at play during this period while showcasing skilled engraving techniques employed by English artists centuries ago.
