EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Stuart, also known as Bonnie Prince Charlie or the Young Pretender, is depicted in this 18th-century print, disguised as a woman. The image, created between the years 1720 and 1788, captures the intrigue and cunning of this Scottish claimant to the English, Irish, and French thrones. Born in Rome in 1720, Charles Stuart was the son of the exiled Jacobite claimant to the British throne, James Francis Edward Stuart. In an attempt to reclaim the throne for his father and the House of Stuart, Charles led an uprising in Scotland in 1745. After initial successes, his forces were ultimately defeated at the Battle of Culloden in 1746. This print shows Charles in disguise, wearing a frilly dress, a bonnet adorned with lace, and a bonnet ribbon. The intricate details of the dress, the delicate lace, and the feminine accessories are all meticulously rendered, adding to the allure and mystery of the image. The Young Pretender's disguise was a crucial part of his strategy to evade capture following the defeat at Culloden. He managed to escape to France, where he continued his efforts to rally support for the Jacobite cause. This print, with its captivating depiction of the disguised prince, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of the Jacobite rebellion and the enigmatic figure of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Despite the passage of time, this print continues to fascinate historians, artists, and the general public, offering a glimpse into the complex and tumultuous history of Scotland and the British Isles during the 18th century.
